If I were to advise one all around rod, this would be it. It is light enough to cast dry flies on the creeks and heavy to throw nymphs on the rivers (or the other way around if you like). This model has landed many fish over 20 through the years, while still maintaining its grace on the smaller creeks. It is built with the classic nickel silver fittings and your choice of real seat. Two piece, one tip $1725. Extra tip, $350.
