I have two rods I use
a 9 ft 5wt Scott that has a fast action tip. Now that I know more about fishing and have more experience casting I think a mid flex rod would have fit me better. But the Scott still is a nice rod. I had to use the life time warranty once so that was nice to have.
A 7ft 4 wt full flex cheap rod made for Bass Pro that is quite nice for small brushy creeks.
TFO has a 3 wt 4 or 5 piece rod that I have wanted in 7.5 ft that I want for small spring creeks. or an Elk Horn 5 piece. Both are very sweet casting rods.
I have not done much lake fishing but I would think a 10 ft rod would be good for that. I always wondered why manufacturers were so set on 9 ft rods. I think they mainly make them because that is what we buy but I think we buy the 9 ft because that is what everyone says that is what you need. From what I have read that preception may be changing.
I have an 8 wt Scott that I bought for striper fishing but then I moved away from striper country right after I bought it. It has never been fishing. That was 5 years ago now.
