Sittin here thinking about getting a new rod, dedicated to wetfly fishing, during the winter. Decided to ask you folks for advice. Logged in saw this!

Thanks to all of you for this informative read. Perfect timing.

I've never really got a chance to use a boo rod for any type of fishing but, I've used glass before and loved it.
I've also built a rod on a Tiger Eye blank which has a progressive action, 7'4 3/4wt for the streams in my local area and that preforms great.

Above all though, I love my Cortland Brook. 10ft 4wt. It's just great with mending and presentation. Very sensitive as well.
I recommend giving this rod a go if anyone here is looking for a 10 footer.

Hardy Marksman 10 ' 5 wt. for wet flies, my preferred graphite rod and fishing method these days.

TFO Deer Creek switch rod 11 ' 5 wt for nymphs and streamers on big waters

Scott SAS 7 wt. for bass (my first rod)

Winston BIIx 9'6" 5 wt. for general trout fishing when I am not fishing a cast of three wet flies, which is rare anymore

I got a chance to fish a friend's A. Kube 7'6" foot bamboo (5 or 6 wt I think).........."sweeter than a beautiful companion saying 'yes' "...........kinda spoils you for anything else, IMO.

Wow....you guys use looooong rods...lol. My big rod is a 9' 6wgt that I use for big water as I'm not a great caster. The rods I like to use the most is a 7' 3wgt and a 7.5' 4wgt. I love the small rods on a trout stream where I can wade and fish, that is my cup of tea, especially if they are taking dry flies.
