Thanks for reading my write-up about my 4-weights from last week! Here is another post about my handful of 6-weights. Hope you like it.

I will have my 5-weight write up soon. Gotta wait for my most recent acquisition to arrive...

Sweet 6 collection indeed. It’s funny: I never had a six (in graphite or glass) before 2020. Now I have a 5/6wt Pennington Pine River Bamboo "Trout Rod" 7'6”, a 6wt Orvis Superfine Glass 8’6”, a 6wt Wetfly Nitrolite 9’ 4pc I bought for a kayak and road trip beater and a vintage 6/7wt Browning Silaflex 8’ 2pc. Love casting them all. So different from rod to rod. Have not caught a fish on any of the glass or bamboo yet! :eek

That is a good collection of 6-weights, Dave! Now you need to christen them with some fish!

Correction: I did catch two red breast sunnies on my Wetfly while hunting for bass from my kayak on New Year’s Eve!

I love 6wts. I seem to skip from 3/4 straight to 6 and ignore 5 entirely.

Yep, anything a 5wt will do a 6wt will do better.
