hey there,
well, if your reel can hold about 100 yards of backing then by all means go out and get some 9 or 10 wt fly line.. i say 10 wt because 9 out 0f 10 times its windy on the salt , and that 10 wt helps get your flies thru the wind. now about rods.. fenwick makes some good low end rods, and they back them up in warranty(ive busted a few) also go to e bay ..there are ppl there that build rods and sell them, and there are some great ones out there..stay away from G loomis..it was my biggest rod and all but broke 4 times on me..but they always replaced it free..lol well good luck
