May favorite 4 wt is a Sage ZXL 490-4. When fishing dries I like the slower action which allows me a more delicate presentation. My favorite 5 wt is a Sage XP 590-4. I use this a lot for lake fishing and streams that tend to be windy and the faster action helps to drive my flies through the wind. My favorite 6 wt is a Sage Z-Axis 690-4. This is my favorite rod for fishing streamers and larger flies. My main target with all of these rods are trout and the occassional smallmouth bass.

I have been considering a switch rod. This type of rod would be great for fishing tree lined lake shores where getting good distance is a must.
