Just kinda running this through my brain lately with the following sideboards. I'm thinking a stick for medium to small rivers with 100' casts about max, mostly 60-80'.
One that will handle a delta (or the short-mid belly of you choosing) with tips as well as a skagit head heavy enough to turn over big, heavy bunny leachest, etc. As the temperature is plummeting I'm really starting to like the idea of not stripping line.
A rod that is long enough to allow for good line control and mending.
Minimal back cast room not a huge concern but something to keep in mind.
In short, a rod that may not be the perfect choice for every scenario on every river but would never be a bad choice. All opinions welcome.
