Rods: TFO professional series, Lefty Kreh series, Casting for Recovery, and Project Healing Waters, alongside other even cheaper Chinese crap.
Reels: Okuma (the aluminum one, I forget what it's called) and Orvis Battenkill Mid-arbor.
Lines: Rio Gold, Intermediate Sink, Type 6 Full Sink. And SA Sharkskin.
I'm more likely to spend money on lines, leader, tippet and fly materials than rods or reels...even when I have an income.
Good post, this will get Sasha wound up, I'm sure of it, he's a gear whore!
(don't deny it, everyone knows!)

Also, cheap waders for now, good Orvis boots (the one with a zipper down the side, because my left foot is Frankenstein and won't fit in any other boot.)
Good waders (Simms or Dan Bailey's) are very high on my priority list for this season.

I don't break the bank on gear. What I have works for what I do. Where I don't go cheap is in my fly tying tools and materials.
8wt TFO TiCr
5wt TFO TiCr
3wt Cablelas LST
Basic Okuma reels on the 5wt and 3wt and the 8wt has a Cabelas SR2 reel.
Cheap Stearns Waders that I got at Costco 5 years ago and don't leak dispite being used quite a bit. What more can you ask.
Korkers Torrent wading shoes.
