You have gotten a lot of great advice. I would echo the recommends for Redington gear. Which one is really all about your casting and what feels best for you.
Personally, I have fallen in love with the Vapen series.
But that may not be the one that fits you best.
Try a few out and see what feels right in your hand. It might be the least expensive Crosswater, or it might be something in the higher cost. Medium action Classic Trout, Fast action Vapen, Slow action Butter Stick, Medium Fast Torrent and Path. There is a lot to look into.
The great thing about Redington is that you are getting a lot of trickle down from their sister company, Sage, which makes some of the finest rods available.
Redington has made some duds in the past, but in the recent years, they have been kicking out some real gems.
When I first started fly fishing, you either jumped up to a higher priced rod, or you typically got some poor performing rods. That is just not the case any longer. Most of what is on the market today from reputable companies in the low to moderate price is as good as the top performing rods from fifteen years ago, imo.
Enjoy and hope you get the one that fits your style.
