I figured I should add the central/northern AB report so far lol: Like brunsie, I have been trying out the new 10' 6wt 4pc Wind Warrior and it has been nothing short of fantastic! I have just been fishing lakes lately, but have found that even with a head-on wind, the rod performs a lot better than past 6 wts I have owned (even from "high end" brands). It handles well, is capable of some extra distance, and has enough backbone, but also a sensitive enough tip section to play the big trout on light/long leaders. Still plenty of situations to put it through, but it has performed admirably so far. I didn't know what to expect before trying it, but within the first few minutes, I found myself giggling like a little kid at how well it performed.
