You can get into Tenkara Fly Fishing for around $150. There is no reel, just a telescoping fly rod. You tie your line to the end of the rod and start jamming in no time. GREAT way to get into fly fishing without breaking the bank. I prefer this method as it's easier to set up, doesn't require as much gear, and is much more affordable.
