RALMD11,

As my 'name' implies, I am partial to Sage rods, but Loomis and Scott also make decent rods, as do many other manufactures. For small dry fly casting I love my Sage Circa (a true slow action rod), but if you are going to use the rod for nymphing then I would suggest a medium rod, it can handle small dries and small nymphing rigs. If you are going to be casting heavy nymphing rigs with it I would suggest a medium-fast rod. No matter which you choose, I am sure you will like it, any that you mentioned would be good, but like I said, I am partial to Sage rods.
