What model? Dont worry about the reel as much as the rod.. the rod is the money maker in fly fishing.

Fly fishing for bass/sacaulait is lots of fun. What weight rod? Sinking line? What are you gonna target?

I had the $50 combo from academy, it was the blue rod with neon yellow fly line, 5/6 weight. It was good to throw small flies with but any bass or redfish flies were too big to handle. After 2 months the rod tip snapped on me while trying to unsnag the fly from a submerged stick, a tiny stick.
Anyway I returned it and put money towards a baitcaster. I say save your $ and get a setup from orvis. They have some nice ones for around 300 I think and good warranties

If you are a beginner, don't spend over $250 for a setup. You can get a good starter rig for $150-$200. I'm sure what you have will meet your needs.

Temple fork, redington, and even some of the cabela's lines are all good values. I doubt that Pflueger is making a quality fly rod, but I'm really not sure.

I've posted this before but if you are a beginner the Cabelas three forks rod/reel combo is very good for its price..
Three forks fly rod..
I needed a cheap back up rod/reel and went with this one a couple years ago, 8weight. Has held up fine with snook/slot reds/smaller tarpon..

i hammer the bream on em. I use a cheap pfleuger for this. I use a small sinking fly whenthey wont hit a small poppin bug in green, yellow, black or white. If in Arkansas I use what ever pattern the locals are using. I don't spend much money on it like I did when I lived in New England. I do nail the chinqs and bull bream working the outside of beds. I've found they'll hit a sinking fly when they won't touch a cricket.
