I am assuming that you are just starting to fly fish. If so, go with

the bug bites and you fall in love with the sport, *then* think about
adding different weights, lengths, material (graphite, bamboo, etc). I
think you have selected the right rod to begin with and it should serve
you well.

Who knows? Perhaps you will become a gear whore like me and others in
this nuthouse. d;o)

I take umbrage
The whole world is a nut house

Forgot to add: It can be painful to invest money in a sport you do not
pursue in the future. You have a 5 weight, add a 7, then a 6, and a 3,
and before you realize it, you have a small fortune invested in rods,
reels, lines, etc. You better make damn sure you are going to stick
with the sport before becoming a gear whore. d;o) I have been fishing
for a very long time (since the late 40s) and I've broken only two rods
- one by falling on it and the other by a screen door at a fishing
camp, both clumsy errors on my part as an old man with painful
arthritis.

One of the good or better things about Sage Orvis is their breakage
replacement warranty
I have used it several times
My T & T rod costs me a t least $50 whenever I or a friend breaks the tip
(twice)
