        <![CDATA[ I&#39;ve fished the local salmonfly hatch here in the Gunnison River Gorge last week for the first time ever. I&#39;ll be going out again tomorrow, and
hopefully the females will be in the air and laying eggs on the surface. Amazing to see dry fly action with such huge flies!


I&#39;ve been using a Winston LT 8&#39;9&quot; 5 wt 5 pc to huck these #4 salmonflies, but a longer 6 wt would be ideal, especially when the wind picks up a
bit in the canyon. I might sell/trade a rod for a packable... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve been using an 8&#39;6&quot; #6 JET with either a DT6 or WF7. It&#39;s a good rod. I&#39;m sure it would toss a salmonfly (the insect) too. I was
interested in reading about how the 9&#39; JET just doesn&#39;t do as well. Bummer, but glad I saw that because I was thinking of getting one. Of all the
modern glass makers, South Fork is the only one I&#39;ve seen with a 9 footer...though it&#39;s a 5wt. For out west, I use a 9&#39; #6 T&amp;T LPS. Good rod.

			<description><![CDATA[ I would look no further than the 8&#39;3&quot; #7 McFarland Juniata if I was heading out there to fish that hatch.  Not sure if others will chime in on this,
if others have the rod.  Fishing big dries is a blast with this rod, it performed well during the hex hatch and it seemed to have the power needed to overcome
wind when needed.  I would take this and a graphite 9&#39; 6 weight if I was heading out there and decide what to fish once I got there and tested them out. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I no longer own a 9ft rod. I sold any 9&#39; graphite rod I owned. I discovered 8 1/2ft rods [and in fiberglass] can do anything my 9ft&#39;ers could do. I
believe 9ft&#39;ers were most popular when float tubes and donuts were the rage 20+ years ago. The 9&#39; rod can keep the tip from slapping the water on the
back cast in a tube. But, with the pontoons that sit higher an 8&#39;6&quot; rod can do everything a 9&#39; rod can do. On the stream/rivers I don&#39;t think

			<description><![CDATA[ I usually draw the limit on bamboo and glass rods at 8.5 feet and go to graphite. To me, they just get too heavy and unweildy when they get nine feet long.
Even a nine foot, 8 weight weight graphite begins to tire me out after a few hours, much less glass. I have an 8 foot 4 weight and 8 foot, 6 weight Fisher
glass rods, and I love them. My longest is a SA System 7 glass rod, that is eight feet 5 inches, and it is a pleasure to fish. A glass rod like a new, modern,
light Steffen or MacFarland... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Check this discussion, especially Rvreclus&#39; comments, very sharp. The rod discussed is exactly the type, and one of the best, for the situation you asked
about. A low, compact backcast--very helpful in wind--is another advantage of some of the 8 and 8 1/2&#39; powerhouse &#39;glass rods. Nowadays people want to
fish light-line rods to make the catch seem more of a feat, and to amplify the fight of smaller fish.  That is at the expense of sloppy casting and, more
important, overstressing... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Longer rods is where graphite outperforms glass.  I have many glass rods but few are longer than 8 ft.  In my opinion, that is about where weight and wobble
start to detract from the joy of fishing glass.  Not that it can&#39;t be done, but I find them too heavy and loose, then you need a heavy reel to make it
balance well and it starts to become work.

My suggestion, however, would be that you get an 8 ft, 6 wt or 7 wt glass rod and have a go with it.  A Browning 222980 or 322980 8... ]]></description>

But wait, we all know that a pleasant long lightline glass rod is impossible - it can&#39;t be!

Maybe we should both offer up these pleasant Winston long glass rods to the great god of carbon technology?

But before that , I agree, they are remarkable in close(ah, that more supple tip) and sweet within normal fishing ranges. Maybe I need to wait a bit before the

economy after all). I cast it on the lawn with a DT6 line and am impressed with it. There was lots of wind today, but the rod handled it well. It took me a
minute or so to get used to the medium-slow action, but then the rod became a lot of fun to cast. I was easily reaching out to 60&#39; and the close-in
performance was sweet. I think... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve never fished a salmon fly hatch - I guess graphite would be a good choice for larger flies and distance....but if I want to use glass, my FF80 is my
&quot;go to guy&quot; for larger flies and bass bugs. You&#39;d be giving up a foot in length (mending) and going up to a 7wt line (I use a DT), but it&#39;s
smooth easy casting - my favorite larger water glass rod. Think it&#39;s also avaiable in multi-piece (4) if you can find one. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Nothing significant has changed in the technical limits of &#39;glass. A 9&#39; for six weight in &#39;glass will be a sloppy rod or a stiff rod with a soft
tip. Graphite made the 9&#39; rod in line weights 6 and down feasible. A nine foot rod has one primary advantage, which is reach in line mending capability.
Other than that, if it&#39;s 6-weight time--and that is the weight I fish most often--in &#39;glass that&#39;s going to be an 8 1/2&#39; rod or an 8&#39; ( or
7 1/2&#39;). These are... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ 9&#39; 6wt would seem to go graphite for me.  That swing weight of the extra 6&quot; from 8.5 just seems to make a difference.  I recently got a Fenwick FF857,
 (8.5&#39;) and wanted to compare it to my Diamondback Western 9&#39; 7wt.  The graphite rod was lighter in the hand, but when casting, the 8 1/2 Fenwick felt
lighter. I really think the extra 6&quot; made the difference.   So if I HAD to go 9&#39;, I&#39;d go with the lighter material.  But I agree with most of the
previous comments,... ]]></description>

be a plus.  That pretty much describes when I use mine.   I don&#39;t hesitate to move up to a 7 wt where I might fish a 6, but all my 7&#39;s are two piece
and the longest is still only 8.5. ]]></description>

casting 9 wt lines and above. For the fishing you are describing....my choice would be my Powell IM6 9 foot 6 wt. ]]></description>

have a bunch of 8&#39;6&quot; glass 6 and 7wts that can cast like rocket launchers and they work great for big hoppers and salmon flies here in MT. Graphite
rods make my arms hurt just thinking about em, and for me, a glass 7wt can deal with a big fluffy fly much better than a 6wt graphite.

			<description><![CDATA[ I personally would love to come across a 9&#39; for 7WT.  Even if it meant getting Steffen Bros. to make me a blank and building it myself.  To me any 9&#39;
glass rod will balance with a 4&quot; reel and put the fulcrum right at your casting hand.  With a progressive action blank you&#39;ll not have to move your
arm very much to get the long rod to flex thru the cast and shoot some damn line out there!!!!

and graphite. And Graphite was well under way then. I enjoy  a 8.5 (4-5) glass here on small streams and a 9&#39;3&quot;(5 weight) Winston glass  on larger
waters. Love both of them - far more feel for tippets and plenty of feel for my up to 50 feet fishing needs...
