jgib01 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Winston b3x 8'6 4 wt. I'll second that! Though it's not like I have a whole bunch of other rods of that ilk kicking around to compare with. I have a gently used Orvis TL 5# as a backup rod (OK, but not fabulous), and have tried my son's Redington 8' 4# Path (for the $'s it is a very decent rod!).

lad Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 T&T 3wt 7'6" with a classic double taper for the small dry flys that deserve a bit of grace and quite often a better caster than I. My only regret is I did not get it with a down locking seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netboy Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Agree with Uberfly and LastBoyScout, the Sage LL rods are a joy to cast. It's unfortunate that Sage constantly markets "new & improved" models when they've designed such a classic. Wish they would continue producing their generally acknowledged best rods like Winston. Incidentally the Winston WTs are also excellent if you enjoy casting dry flies with a moderate action rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhad Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Great rods so far, my favorite is a Sage 586 ZXL. It has the power of the Z but a buttery feel close the TXL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Such a wonderful selection of Fly rods here. At no point in history have we had so many great products available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningChrome Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Such a wonderful selection of Fly rods here. At no point in history have we had so many great products available. Yeah there really aren't many "bad" fly rods any more, just rods that are more and less suited to a person's individual casting preferences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcreek Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Love my Winston b3x 5 wt for the bow and the Loop s1 3 weight for small streams. All great rods mentioned above in the thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
