Favorite weight rod - Dryrod - 09-14-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]So what is your favorite weight rod? No real answer as it is all about preference. Perhaps it is not the most expensive rod that you own but it is the most fun.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Favorite weight rod - flygoddess - 09-14-2009 I like them all for different applications, but my favorites are in the 5 weight and I probably use my boo and JWF the most. Except still waters I fish are 6 weight all the way! [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Favorite weight rod - macfly55 - 09-15-2009 so far I only have 6 wt.. or 5/6 wts.. but I like them all.. but have to say my sage (so far) is the nicest feeling rod in the group.. I just have to make time to get out on the water and try out my mojo rod so see how that one feels being used ...

And of course TFO profesional 5wt for floating line and St Crox 5wt for sinking line. I guess I have a diff. rods for diff. stuff that I like . Favorite ? I dont know, they are all my favorite.[] And you know what they say- One can never have a nuff rods....................[] Peter [signature] Re: [peter805] Favorite weight rod - flygoddess - 09-15-2009 NO, BUT I AM GETTING THERE!!!!![laugh][laugh][laugh] I like all mine for different specialties, that is why I have them, BUT, if I was in a hurry and had to grab just one rod.....it would be my 8' 5 weight Boo....It can do anything! [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Favorite weight rod - Dryrod - 09-15-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]The reason for the poll was based on my thinking what type of fishing do I find the most fun and which wt rod does it involve. I have caught steel-heads on a 6 wt that I didn't find as much fun as catching small wild browns & brookies on a 2 wt. Heck a fish ON[/size][/#008000][/font] [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]any weight is fun but something has got to lead the list so mine would be the 2 wt. BTW my T&T 2 wt. is a better rod than my FF 3 wt.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Favorite weight rod - macfly55 - 09-16-2009 now I see it a little clearer now.. :-).. but since I only have 6 wt rods that is all I can base my answer from... but.. having used a 6 wt rod to catch multiple sunfish and small bass and trout in TN.. IOW the fish were over matched but most still put up a good fight.. but.. Id love to do the same thing with a light wt rod like a 2 or 3 wt rod.. then it would be a blast.. especially if I happen to hook into a larger fish like MacLarry did this past summer when he caught a decent size lmb that I would say was about 10" long and a pound or just under..

In the freshwater, I like the 5 to 7 weight for fishing bigger Bass.

[] MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] Favorite weight rod - drowning_flys - 10-13-2009 Ive mainly just used a 5 weight but i recently picked up and 6 weight ugly stik for carp and bass. Then last month I helped a buddy put a lift on his jeep and put a new motor in it. I basically did most of it because he had tore his bicep loose and is recovering from surgery. In his appreciation he built me a custom 3 weight. 7 foot im6 blank that is a black cherry color. I'm going to couple it with a dam quick 3 weight reel so I'm pretty excited to see how this works out. my reel should be here this week [cool] This might be my new favorite [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Favorite weight rod - flygoddess - 10-13-2009 I am betting it will be your favorite. Is that reel "PINK"?[shocked] DT line would be cool. [signature] Re: [drowning_flys] Favorite weight rod - macfly55 - 10-13-2009 that looks like its gonna be an awesome rig... :-)...
