In 1991 I purchased a Sage Graphite 111
Model GFL696RPL, a 9' 6" No 6 line rod.
I have Fly fished for over 40 years and before buying this rod had tried
several 10' and 10'6" rods, all with the same result-Tennis Elbow. I
have used the Sage rod extensively for Reservoir, Loch, river and sea
fishing, with no problems. I just love it and would get another tomorrow
if it were lost.

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
