I’ve fished the same two rods for a long time. 5wt. A short Orvis slow rod (7’9” Superfine from 80’s) and an average length fast Sage rod (4 piece 8’6” RPL+). Last summer I got to fish a couple guided days in ID with different rods, and this thing was the stuff, by a lot. Weeks later I was talking to my brother, who was there, and in mentioning the rod, he sent me back this picture of the rod. Because he felt the same.
