The Redington Breakwater has a great reputation on many of the saltwater specific pages (check out danblanton.com for example) and would be a great value for the money. However, for the same money, you can often find good deals on used Abels or Pates which are both bomb proof and would be my first choice.

I recommend you pick up a copy of Trey Combs' Bluewater Fly Fishing. TONS of great information and recommendaions on rod lengths and weights, reels, backing, knots, lines, leaders, flies...you name it. Proven tackle and techniques that have taken the largest gamefish on flies from around the world are shared by many different cutting edge anglers. Rigging is critical for these large ocean species and the book spells out what works.

Take care,
