Would one play golf with only one club?

You can get by with one rod but on a long trip I would take a back up
rod and I would take at least one different weight class rod. Last
time I was in that area I used a five weight and a three weight. If
the rod you are buying is a 9' rod, I would look at an 8½' model or
vice versa. Additionally as you acquire more tackle, use the rule of
two's make your next rod either a three weight or a seven weight
depending on the type fishing you are more likely to do.
