I bought the six weight a few months ago and will tell you I am impressed. I do most of my streamer fishing from a drift boat and can keep the big flies out of ears and backs. When wade fishing, I am able to cast most of the line with ease. I have the 200 grain sinking head line that was designed by Kelly Galloup too. I have four St. Croix rods and this is my favorite so far.
