Look into these brands. They all have amazing warranties if you break your rod and produce a great product for the money.

Temple Fork Outfitters
Echo
Reddington

For reels there is really no question in my mind - Get a Lamson Konic or one of their higher priced models (same drag more milling = lighter thats only difference). Bomb proof sealed drag system and great warranty. If that's out of your price range then really any large arbor aluminum disc drag will do until you are ready to upgrade.

Another suggestion is LINK

They have a good sale going on right now but their warranty program sucks. Their lower level stuff is worth the sale price right now however.

Once you have a setup just practice a ton and watch videos. Film yourself if you are able that will really help you visualize your casting mistakes. I would also learn up on knots, fly presentations, and drag free drift mending methods for when you fish moving water. Have fun and be patient! Get a mentor if you can most of us love to teach the sport.
