G'day Scott ...... I might get shot down in flames by some here with my comments .... but here goes
You really need to set your mind on what you are willing to spend! .... i know you dont have a number in mind ... but hey
Unlike spin gear & even to a lesser extent bait cast gear you can buy a reasonably good outfit for $250-$300 ........ Fly gear IMHO you cant really! & the quality of the rod makes all the difference when it comes to casting! A decent entry level rod therefore set you back $500ish dollars ( but note these are rods that you will be happy enough to keep .... even as you improve - say like a T Curve equivalent .... not a bottom end cheapie ....... ( I'll dig up a few for you & post again with actual prices)
The reel ..... Unlike trout reels where the reel really just hold the line .... SWF reels need to be quite robust & have good drags ..... You dont need to spend huge ..... but buy quality! ( I'll give you some to look at)
fly line once again a reasonable quality is required .... specially in tropical water ( & you should have a floating & a slow sinking line)
So Scott ..... I'll do a search for you & give you the oil on prices etc
Bare with me
