My current trout rod arsenal consists of four rods: 2wt, 3wt, 5wt
and 6wt.


Wayne Yikes, only four...come on man the economy of your country is
Wayne depending upon you to do better.

Well, actually I think it's the economy of _your_ country.

Wayne However, to answer your question as to which weight to
Wayne target. Use the rule of two, since your heaviest rod is a 6
Wayne weight, you can in theory overline it one weight to make it a
Wayne de facto 7 wt. By going up two weight classifications that
Wayne would suggest you consider an 8 wt. Which depending upon the
Wayne conditions and ability over or underline as you see fit or
Wayne need.

That's a good point. Although I seldom use the 6wt for anything else
than casting practice, since it's a two-piece rod and too cumbersome
to carry around. So most probably on a trip I would have just the 5wt
and the 8wt rods. But the idea of getting an 8wt and possibly over- or
underlining to cover the line weights 7-9 sounds appealing.

Come to think of it, I wonder why they've made it the rule of two, and
not the rule of three: by over- and underlining a 5wt and an 8wt rod I
could basically cover line weights 4-9.

Thanks for the advice.
