    Hi Fritz,

    I have a 6 wt with a mid weight reel on it that is tip heavy. I have wanted to try a heavier reel on it, but have not gotten around to it yet. It is not terribly tip heavy, but enough that I do not like using the rod as it currently set up.

    A second six weight, like the other 6 wt a 9' travel rod but somewhat lighter, ballances nicely with the reel that lets the other rod be tip heavy. The difference in fishing the two rods is night and day.

    Regards,

    Gandolf
