Around holiday time I may be int the market for a longer rod to enhance my nymphing. I would like to get input on rod length, weight and brand preferences for this rod.
Currently I own the following (among others not related to trout fishing):
Sage LL 8'1" 5 WT
Sage VSP 9' 5 WT
Sage XP 9' 8 WT
I use the VSP 85% of the time. It's a nice all around rod for trout.
I have a fishing buddy who uses a longer rod, maybe 10'6" or 11' (3 or 4 WT), and regularly has better drifts and success while nymphing. So, I'm looking to level the playing field a bit.
Please let me know what you all think regarding this. With the holidays coming up (I just saw a Christmas ad!) this may be of interest to others, too.
Thanks in advance for any help.
