Duke25 Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 I’m in the market for a 6wt. Just seeing what ya guys are using and like about what you’re using. Budget is 400-600. My 5wt is a orvis h3f I have a 3wt in the new orvis recon which I love and might consider in a 6wt but been reading good things about the sage pulse too. Quote
ÜberFly Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Best to go cast a bunch (if that's possible for you). As I'm sure you know, what works for one may not be the best for someone else... I use Winston rods and had 5 wt, 6 wt, 8 wt & 10 wt BIIIx rods (which are medium fast action rods) in my quiver. While my wife and I were taking a casting lesson with Linda McLennan (to improve our casts for a salt trip to the Corn Islands in Nicaragua) she noticed that they were too soft for my casting stroke... So I purchased Winston Plus rods for me (which are fast action rods) and now cast much further, smoother and more accurately. Thankfully the BIIIx rods worked well for my wife. 1 Quote
