Hey all,
After years of using hand me down equipment I'm taking the plunge into a new rig. I fish medium to big water most of the time and had settled on a 9' 5 weight 4 peice. I do want something that can handle a wide variety of flies and styles of fishing (mostly nymphing). I have yet to get a big trout (my biggest is 18") and I want to throw some big streamers etc and be able to handle some big boys. I've all but decided on the Sage VXP.
Should I do a 6 wt instead of the 5?
9'6" or 10' rod instead of the 9'?
I frequent this site and have searched the gear talk posts for material but I thought I would see if anyone had any input. Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
