I have my own opinion on this but an curious to hear some of yours. I am picking up another "all around" trout rod from this site:
http://shop.wildwaterflyfishing.com/99-Freshwater-Fly-Rods_c15.htm
I am instinctively going for the 5wt, but am thinking that maybe I should go for the 4wt. I have an old Battenkill 3/4 reel at home that I'd like to spool up but don't know if it will marry well with the heavier 5wt. I am leaning towards the 4wt simply for something different - but the only thing holding me back is that I don't ever want to feel like I dont have enough juice in the rod and jumping up to a 5wt isn't that drastic and maybe the old battenkill will work well with it.
Opinions?
