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?

9'-6" is a good all round length, I'd prefer to see the "# " being
something like6/8 or 7/'9 though.

If you want a bit of distance, the a tippy rod will serve you well.

As for make of rod, well beware paying for the Name.

I knew a chap who won a fly rod in a raffle - the cost of the rod was
about 25 quid. It cast beautifully all the same.
