I lost interest as soon as I saw they are suggesting a half-weight heavier line. For 5 weights and lighter, I think most anglers will be happier with rods that perform well with "traditional" lines, especially if we're talking about fishing across the country and not just in the West. I find that most visiting anglers just don't have an aggressive enough stroke to make the most of super-fast rods without a heavier line. In that case, don't get a super-fast rod...
