I was just casting the new St.Croix "Premier" 9' #6 line 4 piece yesterday
for $100USD looking for a powerful 6 weight to put a WF7F bass bug taper for
bass in Florida. That particular rod would not be the best 6 weight for
trout because it is very fast and powerful but I think it would be great for
bass.

We sell that rod with in a "Combo" with an Orvis "Clearwater" disc drag reel
and Airflow line for ~$139USD.

You still need to cast some of these rods yourself or talk to someone in a
fly shop that can "shake/feel" the rod and evaluate it over the phone for
you.

Hi Kevin,

I've found that St. Croix makes some very fine rods and combo
outfits. Although it's rather difficult to find these rods at a
discount price, some dealers will throw in a few goodies to earn your
business. Percy's Flies offers Gift Certificates of various
denominations, up to $50.00 in value, good for anything that they sell.
You can check out their web site at http://www.percysflies.com/ .
Percy's Flies also offers free shipping to anywhere in the USA.
