Skip the beginner today and get a mid-price rod from a top of the line company or fund a used high end rod. Sage, Scott, g loomis and T&T all make a solid “mid price”rod that you can not only grow into but not grow out of.
Reels aren’t that important for trout fishing, they mostly just hold your line BUT the cheaper ones are made from cast metal and can easily crack if you drop them. Get a nice machined reel from a good company like a Galvan rush light or a Ross animas.
You’ll pay a bit more up front but you won’t feel the need to upgrade nearly as fast as if you buy some bullshit echo or a redington and then actually get into fly fishing.
