POLL:
I am curious what your favorite fly rod is? What are you fishin' with
these days?
If everyone could please post your favorite Fly Rod Brand--try to limit
your answer to 2 rods only--and feel free to post any other comments.

I will start,
I prefer Orvis fly rods in general, particularly the T3 Series. There is
no words, it's just bliss for me.
Most of my gear is from Orvis, it's good stuff!
If I had to choose a second, I think it would be RL Winston Boron IIx.

Well Richard...that is a very hard question to answer because the paramaters
are so wide. If you mean *trout* rod...it's a Sage XP 590-4.

But here near the coast of Maine we do as much (or more) salt Striper
fishing than we do trout...and for that it's an old (1st Generation) Sage
RPLX (no i or Xi2) 990-3.

For Bass and Bonefish a Scott STS 907-3. So the answers to your question
would generate perhaps a bit more concensus if the paramaters get narrowed a
bit.

True Dave, and a good point!
Thanks for your insight and your participation.
