I am looking to buy a 7' or 7 1/2 foot fly rod. I have an 8, 8.5, 9,
9.5 ranging from mid-flex to fast tip. I have read extensively about
various actions available to the point it has almost become
information overload. I realize that folks have their own
preferences, and a particular action will dictate how a fly is cast.
The rod will be used primarily for small stream trout and panfish.
Advice of friends consist of full flex or mid flex. I would apprecite
hearing from those using seven footers who would be willing to share
their expertise and advice. Top of my list is the Orvis Trout Bum 7'
full flex. Orvis will also produce a 6' full flex called The Flea
which seems interesting.

Thanks,

Dick



Take a look at this rod made by Damon Rod Co of NY. I have one of their 3wt
7 1/2 foot rods and I really like it a lot. He makes several different
series so you can choose if you want a fast/med/or slow rod. I don't think
you can go wrong with one of these.
