Pre-1989 5wt Graphite Fly Rod Shoot-out!
Ok, lets have some fun with this one...there are NO wrong answers!
Prior to the graphite "arms-race", when fly rods were just a bit "slower" and most fly rod manufacturers were using first and second generation graphite materials for rolling blanks, what would you (based on personal experience) rate as the Overall best performing 5wt of that era? Remember, we are talking 5wt rods and naturally they would have to have TROUT fishing attributes.
Examples would be, but not limited to:
Orvis graphite such as the Far and Fine model
Winston "Trophy Cup" G Loomis rolled blanks
Fenwick HMG
Fisher GT40
Sage RP/LL
St Croix Legend
Diamondback Carbonite Supreme
Scott PwrPly ("G")
Look foward to your responses!
