I have become a big fan of Winston. I got a used 8'6" 5wt BIIX off a guy from another forum for a song because he didn't like it. I wasn't quite sure about it the first time I fished it, but something clicked the 2nd time out and it casts like a dream and seems to fit my casting stroke perfectly. I liked it some much that I recently picked up the 4wt version and it is awesome also. I really wanted to like the Scott G2, but I kept coming back to the BIIX.

I love my Sage LL's and my Winston DL. However, I tried out BII MX 9 wt. the other day at the local shop and really liked the backbone of that rod.

I fish mostly bamboo. Custom made Garrison 201 taper 7ft. 4 wt.for small streams,Orvis-71/2ft. 5wt.and Whitney Zephyr (a Colorado trade rod) in 8ft. 5 wt. made from a Phillipson blank for medium waters, a Wright Mcgill Special 81/2 ft. 5wt., and a Shakespeare Triumph 81/2 ft 5 wt.( a great rod) for bigger water, and a Wright Mcgill Victory 9ft 6wt for bass,shad and stripers. I also fish Orvis 7'9" 5 wt., Orvis Rocky Mtn 81/2 ft. 6wt., and St Croix 9ft. 7 wt. I like each rod in its own place. I'm looking for a short fiberglass rod - about 7ft.- the lighter the better. Any suggestions?

Love my Sage XP. All my backups are TFO, I think they are incredibly good rods for the money.

I'm really digging the Hardy Marksman I recently got. My second choice however would be TFO I love the way the rod feels and it's great when you can break a rod and have it back in one week.

I LOVE SAGE! but I have always had a thing for Orvis too. I have an Orvis TLS that I think is the best small stream rod I have ever owned.

I bought my kids a TFO and all I can say is that I am very impressed for the price.

I am finishing up a 4'9" Blue Ridge Bany, dark flamed, light brown wrapping w/ black tipping. Black guides and stripper guide. I think that I am getting addicted to one piece rods. This one is 1.6 oz., should be a very nice brook trout rod.

Almost voted for other in this one because of a cheap little 2weight from Gremlin fly fishing! $700 dollar feel for less than $100 bucks. Still love my Orvis 3weight the most.
