Taking allot of your recommendations to heart I am pretty much set on a Winston Ibis 4 wt. 8’ rod. It feels great in my hands and think it will work out great for what I want. Any thoughts on this rod. Also any line recommendations? Again I plan to us it on mostly small streams with smaller flies. Lots of short casts in clear water with plently of trees and bruch along the banks?

While I can’t comment on the rod I can on Winston. If you like the rod and you don’t care that the rod MAY have been built overseas; buy it. It is a discontinued model so at some point in time a replacement part may not be available but 99% of my rods are discontinued too and that never stopped me from buying one if I liked it.
If you were looking at the rod at a certain fly shop on High Street it’s on sale and has the Winston Lifetime warranty; go buy it with confidence before someone else does and enjoy.

Thanks for the info. You have it correct. I am heading over this morning with my reel to do some test casting and probably will buy it at then. Pretty excited. The folks are always pretty good to me their & I like to support my local shops.
