I have been thinking lately about picking up a 10' 5wt rod for tailwater trout fishing. After trying several friend's 10' 3,4 and 5wt rods, in the Grey's Streamflex and Echo Shadow (or maybe it was the solo?) varieties, I have been impressed with the med-fast actions of these rods. I am well aware of the advantages of mending, and the ability to pick-up and re-cast a bunch of line like when swinging a team of soft hackles, etc.. I have a line on a Sage RPL 5100-3, and am leaning in that direction as I have owned and cast a bunch of RPL's in 9' 5,6,7 and 8wt versions. I can't imagine the action being all too much different in a 10'er as the RPL progressive flex seemed consistant across the rod line in my experience. Anyone who has fished this specif rod please chime in! Any other 10' light line fly rod aficionado's please share your favorites too!
