100% agree with EVERYTHING Richie just said. Well put and very thorough Richie, thanks! Could not have been stated better. I start a lot of people off with 9' 6-weights when they have no idea what they want to do but it includes Trout and Bass. Your post stated trout as the focus, so I think a 5 weight is the best choice. Many of us started with a 5 and caught tons of fish in a lot of places before getting anything else. Besides, ANY 5 weight rod on the market today can easily cast a 7 weight line, so when you need to throw the hair bugs in the summer time, you can just get another line to take care of the delivery problem. Pulling the fish out of the weeds will be a challenge on the lighter rod, but doable. Like Richie said, I'd steer him toward a good 5-weight!

My buddy is looking to buy his first rod, something under $125. Brand does not matter. I was gonna suggest something 7'-8.5' and a 4 or 5 weight. Before i advise him on anything wanted to get some other input. Hes going after mostly browns and bows in central VA. Possibly some bass.--
