I am seriously considering a lifetime membership in TUC (Trout Unlimited Canada). To sweeten the pot, TUC is including a 4 piece 9 foot Winston Boron IIX or a 4 piece 9 foot Orvis T3 in your choice of 4, 6 or 8 wt rods.

I am thinking maybe an 8 wt for bones or perhaps a 4 for trout. I live about 3 1/2 hours from any kind of hands on wiggling of these rods so I likely will have to choose sight unseen. I am curious as to what opinions board members might have on these rods.

Thanks for any and all replies.
