Dot Man backed in to a good point....most will respond with the rod they got last. I am no exception. Orvis Far and Fine.

If I was reading the specs on the rod, not knowing its favorable history, I would not give it a second look (7'9" 5 wt) but Orvis did this one right.

The rod and I have connected spritually, it does everything I ask it to do - its amazing.

Not a distance rod - 40-50' of line is all it wants but inside that distance it is one of the best rods I have ever fished. It makes me a better fisherman. If I had bought the rod 30 years ago I would not own as many rods as I do today.

I'll go with Sawkill on the Folstaff
