I like my Orvis Clearwater 5wt. Not too expensive.

I don’t have this combo but bought the Base 5wt to get my wife started. I now fish it often. Really nice rod.

I got a 5 wt Echo Boost for sale in classified for $125 if you're still looking for a 5 wt rod.

Fenwick Aetos. Highest rating. And pic up a used reel

Redington Vice rod. For a 5 wt just about any reel will do, it is just for line storage. Look to buy used for sure. Be tough to get a decent rod, reel and line for $200 new

I’ve got a 4wt recon and 3-5 hydros SL I’m selling. The recon throws more like a 4.5-5wt. Message me if you would like to talk about it all.
