I'm considering trading in my existing trout rods and reels for something a
bit special and I was hoping somebody could offer me some advice on the best
rod/line weight and action to go for.

I know that one rod can't do everything but as I'll mostly be fishing
stillwater fisheries from the bank (and occasional boat) I was thinking that
a 9' - 9'6'' #6 with a tip-action would be a good all-rounder. Anybody have
any alternative suggestions?

Thanks in advance
