    I need to get this cash together, though, and that might take a week.

    Castwell, that's what I was thinking.

    The TXL is a fast action rod compared to the Orvis and many other rods, I think, but it is still "moderate action".

    nowind, please do! I'd love to know the results of that, and it might influence my current mental struggle over whether to actually get a 4wt, or a 3!

    Depending on location(somewhat, but this is pretty consistently right) use a popping bug early and/or late, I mean no later in the morning than 9:15 or 9:30, and the action can be excellent.

    RG/AR, I can't imagine that being the case unless the bass were not being fed properly.

    It is a well known fact that starved bass will eat literally anything that moves, and I've seen cases before...

    dry, thanks for the post, do you think that I might be able to use any 4wt that I'd purchase for the larger trout, really?
