I fish for trout allmost exclusively. I get the impression that 9 foot 5 wt is the accepted standard for trout and that is what I use. I prefer a medium/fast action but I am aslo comfortable with a medium action. As for what Rod I would like to have a recent experience kind of clowded my thoughts on that. I recently purchased a Cabela's LST rod. I have only fished with it a couple of times but I like it so far. While I was at Cabela's I casted the LST and a Sage XP side by side. I casted the LST noticablly better than the super high performance sage. It was just too fast for my less than perfect timing. I bought the LST and determined that more is not necessarily better for everyone.
