What rod? - Dryrod - 07-17-2009 [font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]If money was no object, which fly rod would you add to your arsenal?[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] What rod? - macfly55 - 07-17-2009 my arsenal to date is a 5/6 shakespeare, a 6wt sage launch, and a 6wt rivendell switch rod.. Id add, with matching reels 3 wt sage launch, a heavier 10/12 wt rod for saltwater.. and a spey rod... not sure on the manufacturer on the last two.. sage, orvis, beulah maybe..

I'm inclined to go with an Orvis Mitey Mite Bamboo and a Hardy Reel.

LOL.. figure the more I can get away with the better I will be in the long run.. but.. since you are restricting to one rod for now I would lean toward filling the lighter weight rod slot.. a good 2-4 wt rod with a well balanced reel.. but dont forget the line... and the leader.. and the rod sock and or tube to go with it...LOL MacFly [signature] Re: [Dryrod] What rod? - flygoddess - 07-17-2009 Me, easy. Glenn Brackett Winston Bamboo, and a Rainbow Trout Abel reel.
