Advice from experienced and tackle savvy members please.
Having returned to Sea Trouting after 30+ years of absence Im finding my old 9.5' fast action rod too quick for me.
On smaller streams Ive been fishing for Brownies with a Sage #5 ZXL which is an absolute dream but I really dont want to risk such a beautiful rod on a bigger river that has a fair run of mid double sized Salmon and ST.
I have tried an old 10' B&W Falcus Hexagraph but its seems such a heavy beast after using my ZXL.
Im also thinking/planning to replace my old 3.5" Perfect with a modern lightweight reel like a Vision Koma.
Maximum cast is around 20yards, some pools have limits on backcasting but wading is an option.
