Another vote for TFO. My first rod was a TFO 16 years ago. I also use a 5 wt TFO Professional as my main rod. Warranty service in Calgary is great.
Another really good option is the Echo Base package. I don't think there is a better rod in the price range and the reel is a decent starter reel. A couple of the fly shops in Calgary stock replacement tip sections. Definitely worth looking at.
