        <![CDATA[ The only graphite rod I have that I really like is an Orvis 7&#39;9&quot; Far and Fine. I am finding a need for a 8 1/2- 9 ft 4 or 5 wt graphite rod. Can any
of you suggest what Orvis rod or rod from other makers would have a similar feel/action? ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Shameless plug ... I apologize if this isn&#39;t allowed. 
<br>
<br>
Anyway, if you should decide on a Winston, I&#39;ve a 904-3 WT I&#39;ve been thinking of selling.  It&#39;s been used once, looks brand new, and I&#39;ve the
original blank warranty card.  The rod retails for $600.00 or so ... I&#39;d go $450.00 plus shipping.  I&#39;ve a Thomas and Thomas LPS 904-3, which suits me
a little better, and the Winston just does not see the water.  My email is mdaley73@yahoo.com.

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;d also recommend the Orvis Superfine 8.5&#39; 5wt &quot;Henry&#39;s Fork&quot;. Unfortunately, Orvis no longer makes this model.  (You can sometimes find
one on e-bay.)  I have 2 Superfine rods, they are a joy to fish.

			<description><![CDATA[ My day-in, day-out go-to graphite rod has been, probably for the last 10 years or so, an Orvis TL tipflex 9 footer, 4 piece, for 5wt. I love the thing, its a
cannon, or not. Does close in just fine. I also like Orvis&#39; PM-10 rods, long discontinued - but they seem to break on me. At any rate - don&#39;t buy it if
you haven&#39;t cast it. Mebbe I&#39;m wrong, but buying what other people suggest (like I just did), is pretty close to the &quot;pig in a poke&quot;
syndrome. And, I have a good... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I agree with PYochim on the Winston 8 1/2ft 5 weight, but would add that the older IM6 may be more to your liking.   The IM6 has a lovely, almost bamboo-like
medium to med-fast action which I personally prefer over the WT, and certainly the newer boron rods.  Winston doesn&#39;t make them any more but you can
occasionally find them at a fairly reasonable rate on the used market.

			<description><![CDATA[ Without a doubt the nicest casting graphite rod I&#39;ve owned is a 8ft/4wt Orvis Superfine 7/11! It feels more like a bamboo/fiberglass rod [but lighter] than
any other graphite rod I&#39;ve experienced. I&#39;ve owned the 7&#39;9&quot; Far and Fine, the Henry&#39;s Fork plus other Orvis rods &amp; Superfines.
I&#39;ve owned Scott G&#39;s and Winston IM6 and WT&#39;S. None of them cast like a 7/11, I promise! Those other rods feel like sticks compared to the 7/11.
The 7/11 is sooo nice I... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I own a Sage LL and I believe that the current Sage ZXL casts very much like my LL...and they look the same also. Team it up with a Rio Gold line.

			<description><![CDATA[ Try the early/mid-era Orvis 8 1/2-foot &quot;Henry&#39;s Fork&quot; taper for a 5 wt. OR the Orvis HLS (High Line Speed) 8 1/2-foot for a 4 wt.
<br>
<br>
I fished the former for many years throughout the West and found it to be very nearly as nice and versatile as the 7&#39;9&quot; Far &amp; Fine. If you like a
little faster taper, then try the Orvis HLS which also came in a handy 4-piece model for travel.
<br>
<br>
Both are truly great synthetic rods. I hope this helps!
