Gee that's a tuffy.
I just don't know if I can answer that....lol
It used to be my MHX 9' 6wt that Ed built but then I got the 9wt Batson RX8 figured out. It took me pretty much all last year to figure out the right line for it but once I did....man that's a sweet rod to cast.
Then there is the combo that I have only spent a day casting and do not own...the Sage Xi3 8wt with some S.A. Titan Taper. You want 90' with a single backcast? This is the set-up

That sage sounds like an awesome rod. Was that the rod you were using in the video review for that line (I forgot what line it was)? I know it's a tough Q. I love all of my rods. Ha...but the one I am always first to grab when I go fishing (Get your heads out of the gutter) is my 5 wt. I love the 6'6" 3 wt that Ed built for me on an Allen FF Xa blank. I have only used my Redington Predator 9 wt 2 times, but it's been good so far.

I only have a cheap 4 wt. I don't even know what kind it is. But I love it and it catches fish.

My first fly rod: Sage Launch 9' 6wt with a Lamson Konic and Rio Gold. All round my favorite fly rod and go to.

MY favorite would be the batson 2wt paired with the the ultra lite CC Hardy reel and the inlayed jungle cock.

i'm retiring my weapon of choice this year which was a 1000 Shimano Stradic spooled up with 6# fireline on a St. Croix light action Premier Series rod. I think I purchased it in 1992 or 1993 and have caught everything from gills, crapps, stripers, carp, pike and walleye on it. the bail is finally failing and I've replaced the rod tip I don't know how many times. This year I'm going with a 1000 Saros and a yet to be purchased Avid Series or some other St. Croix light action rod. I'm up for suggestions there.... Interesting fly rod..

Not a fly only site but this was posted in the fly section.
Since there are a few mentions of spinning/casting gear, Im gonna move those to a new section and start a new thread
