All great suggestions! One benefit to having a lighter weight rod is the tip will protect the lighter tippits you might be using. You can go down to 6x and 7x and not have to worry about setting to hard. And if you are worried about having enough back bone on the lighter rods. That can be fixed with using the rod correctly. This is just a generalization. but most fly fishers use the flex and not the back bone in a rod.
