I'm looking for a 10'ft or 10.5 style 4 of 5wt that I will use to high stick nymph. Maybe toss a dry or so if need be. I currently use a TFO BVK 10' 4wt that I like especially at the price point. I'm just adding to my collection so I'm not interested in trades.

A couple that have caught my eye.

Sage Zaxis
Orvis Helios
Echo Streamflex
Greys

PM Me if anybody has anything they want to part way with.

Thanks,
Chris

Have you thought about the Echo Shadow II? It seems like a very versatile rod for high stick nymphing. Check out the links below:

Thanks Travis. That isn't a bad price point. Pretty much the same as the TFO i'm sporting. I would say their 10'5 4wt for Truckee. I think a 3wt would be tough if you hooked up something decent. I would love to try a Orvis or Sage though. Hopefully somebody has one they want to sell.

No problem Chris, I think its an awesome system because you can add on the extra sections to increase the length or the balancing weights if needed, and Tim designed it to be able to cast dry flies if your in the middle of a hatch. I've really wanted to try it out but haven't met anyone who owns one. Hopefully they have a tester at the Pleasenton Fly Show.
