Once again Brian. Thanks for your words of wisdom. There's really no one rod that does everything. Experience, scenarios, species, dry fly or wet, streamers or nymphs. Matching the rod for your situation is key to a successful day out on the water.

I like the butts because I fish in the ozarks and there is a lot of sand and nasty stuff you don't want to get your reel in. I find the butt allows for more space between the sand and the reel when messing with stuff like new tippets, leaders, and fly. don't help that I'm relatively short.
