Meadowlark , you say ask questions ! as of yet I don't know enough to ask questions now , but with the info you and George have posted it's more than enough to start a novice like me .

Im not looking for a [ wallyworld ] type of outfit . I want to start with a quality set up .

I think the 5 wt. to start with is good advice , since BG will be my main target , also buying the whole set as a combo rod/reel/line/leader will save a lot of confusion .

I think I will try the Temple Fork Out-Fitters since ya'll recomend it . I will save my Bass Pro gift cert. for other stuff .

Think I will start with the floating line and Hmmm , some of those Miss Prissey's sound pretty good -----

Am having the inside of my home re-done ! what a mess , plus a grandaughter's wedding next week in San Antonio so don't know when I'll be shopping .

But will go for it for sure, and will let you know how I progress .

ML & George , and all you other guy's thanks for being here and offering so much advice .

Harvey
