WTB: Cheapie 5wt Setup

[hooker-of-men]

Been using an old Medalist I inherited as the reel for my 5 wt., but today it finally took a dump on me. Since my whole setup is from the 70s (and I am not), I'm taking it as a sign that I should buy a new rod and reel for a fresh start.

I'm not picky about brands or stuff that's been used pretty heavily, but I am cheap. Looking to spend under $200 on a rod and reel. Offers on either individually would be appreciated as well. I'm not really dying to deal with shipping, so I'd prefer something within an hour or two of the Poconos.

I'm aware I can get a decent combo in this price range from Cabela's, but I figured I'd see if this turned up anything first. Thanks in advance for any offers.

Not really what I was asking, but I appreciate the input.

Are you looking for a used one from a forum member?

Yeah. Just seeing what people might be looking to unload here, rather than going straight to brand new. Though, I did just notice that LL Bean is doing their spring 20% off sale on gear, so new might be the way to go.

Again, thanks for the offers so far. Options are being weighed.
