Thread: Which #6 weight fly rods would you recommend for an intermediate?

I run a Sage Z-axis and a 'One'. They are good rods 1k or more new. Airflow used to make rubbish, but in fairness their $500 rods are now very good ( I tried one out of interest) as are the rods that southernman suggests. Rods have really improved over recent times and I would suggest that where you would pick a 6wt in the past a #5wt will now do the job and be easier to use and will load and present a short cast and lift a roll cast better than a #6. Try both weights before buying.
