[black][size 3]Hey Dryrod,[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]I don't think that there is any one ideal rod for tube/toon fishing. I have a couple of 10' 6 wts. customs rods built on loomis blanks that I really like, but what I thought I would need for distance, I really don't. Long casts are not really needed. [/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]Right now, (subject to change of the human mind), I would like to have a 9' 3 or 4 wt. my thinking is that I would be better armed for the local streams with such a rod. and it would be fun for stillwater as well.[/size]
[size 3]Most of what is involved here, is what type of action do you like to cast. Myself, I like a stiffer/faster action, but this is just a matter for personal preference. (ask 50 people, you'll probably get 50 difference choices).[/size]
[size 3]I guess that the size of the fish involved, should be taken into account.[/size]
If you're out shopping for a new stick, let us know what you settle on.
Good luck
