[QUOTE="Idlefellow, post: 565050, member: 598"] If you like the vintage production rods by U.S. companies like South Bend, Heddon, Montague, etc. from the 40's, and 50's (and I do) most seem to be found in 8-1/2 to 9', and 6,7, or 8 weights. I have a 7-1/2' South Bend 290 that seems to fish a 5 or 6 equally well, and an Orvis Madison in the same configuration that does too, and a big ol' Orvis 9' Battenkill that handles a 7 or an 8 very well. My lighter rods are all more contemporary, a 6'6" 3wt by Headwaters and a Glenn Brackett-Era R.L Winston 7-1/2' 4wt. [/QUOTE]
