Hi,

I am currently looking for a nice Travel rod (4pc or 5pc). I think a 9' '4wt would be nice for her, she's a beginner but really motivated. I think she needs a rod that feels light for her confort (this is the reason why I am thinking of a 4wt).
The budget is between 150$ and 200$ for the rod. I am thinking of the redington Wayfarer or the Albright A5.
Do you know the weight of the A5, the wayfarer is rated very light for its specs (just under 3.0 oz).
I heard that some had braking issues with the albright rods ... But if they are nicer than the redington I would go for it.

I would apreciate any help .
