I have fished a medium size reservoir for over thirty years and have had
many different rods but the one I have now is the best I have owned. It
casts and handles fish superbly.
It is a 10' 0" size 8 Redington three piece and costs less than £150.
Redington rods are made in the USA and now belong to Sage. They are widely
available in the UK.
Find a dealer and ask to have a test cast.

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
