Title says it all what's your favorite great lakes steelhead stick? For me I love my 7126 Sage One for most of my fishing. If I'm on a smaller river my Echo E3 8110 gets the nod. For such a small rod it is an absolute cannon! For me those 2 rods are the perfect combo for where I normally fish.

For small water I turn to either my Sage X 8101-4 (8 wt 10ft with fighting butt) or my Redington Chromer 8116
Mid sized water: Redington Claymore 8126 and if there's space my Sage Sonic 7136-4
Big water: Hardy Demon 9/10 13'9. Even though it's listed as a 9/10 I personally feel like it's more of a 8/9. Or I'd go with a Sage 7140X or 8140X depending on flows and wind.
