That is a tuff one. How badly do you want a 6 weight? They are generally for DRIES, but the short it could be a great wet/nymph rod.
Maybe $1,000?

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4][Image: happy.gif]Thanks FGD. Just threw out the question for discussion. No plans on buying another rod just now. Boo or not.[/size][/#008000][/font]
