    Default Medium, progressive action rods: What's your favorite

    Hi, all. I'm new here and appreciate the great info on this site. I'm an active member of the fiberglass flyrodders forum and predominantly fish glass rods for trout here in western Colorado.

    But I still love my graphite rods. I like medium, progressive action rods; my graphite quiver consists mainly or Winston IM6, Sage LL, and the older unsanded Orvis Superfine rods.

    What are your favorite medium, progressive action graphite rods? Modern and older rods included. I'm curious.

    My favorites:
    1) Winston IM6 8'6" 5 wt 3 pc
    2) Sage LL 8'9" 3 wt 2 pc
    3) Orvis Far & Fine 7'9" 5 wt 2 pc

    I was born at night, but not last night.
    Odds are with the prepared...

    Whether you think you can, or think you cannot, you're probably right.

    I like the Far and Fine as well.

    They still bring good prices on ebay.

    Smile Powell LGA 9' for 5 wt four piece

    Hi Doc -

    Looks like you finally came in from the dark side after lurking for almost a year ??

    Welcome and greetings from SE Idaho.

    As far as medium, progressive action rods, I think my Powell LGA 9' for 5 wt would fall into that category. Really nice rod. Hope nothing happens to it, 'cause Powell isn't around to help out.

    John
    The fish are always right.

    I'd add my Sage SP 586-2 into that group. One of the few rods that make me look like I can cast.

    That is pretty much all I fish
    Winston: LT and JWF
    Sage LL , Scott V2
    Orvis: F-N-F, One Ounce, Med-flex: Helios, Zero
    Fiberglass: Steffen, McFarland, Lami, Fenwick
    Bamboo: Penns Creek, Battenkill and one custom Payne, one custom Edwards.
    Like I said, pretty much all I fish.

    So who are you on Fiberglass?

    1) Orvis Tippet 7.5', 3 wt, 2 pc. I just used it today.

    2) Orvis Far 'n Fine 7'9", 5 wt, 2 pc. This rod is an absolute legend. I wonder if it could be the best selling fly rod ever?
