rusty Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Why are you thinking 5 weight and what are you going to use it for? If you already have a #6, I'd strongly recommend going down to a #4 or even a #3. Do you like the Z-Axis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfool Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Head down to Country Pleasures and demo them for yourself (they sell both Orvis and Sage fly rods). Best way to decide in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Try a G Loomis Streamdance GLX while your at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you like the Z-Axis? i just thought a 4 weight would be to light, your correct 5 weight waste off money. thks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
