In search of a new rod. Looking for a 8' or so 5 weight 4 piece rod.

In the 6 weight and under that I have that I REALLY like are a 9' 4pc 6wt Sage RPL and a 3pc 7 1/2' 4wt Loomis GL3.

I would like to find a 5weight (not opposed to another 4 weight) as previously outlined with a similar feel to the above rods. I will just be using it for dries chasing rainbows, dollies, and the occasional streamer for odd salmon.

No place within a 3 hour plane flight of SE Alaska to test drive any.

Thanks!

P.S. No Stowaways from Cabelas.
