I've decided to pull the trigger on a 7 wt - almost certainly from sage. I can't get any clue except for general things about the differences between models from their website, and I won't be able to cast any around here.
So -- XP, Xi2, TCR? I was thinking XP because of dollars and they have a 9'6", but I really dunno. I just want a work horse 7wt to cover my smallmouth and pike fishing (mostly from a canoe), and be pretty good for an occasional trip for big landlocks, lake-run trout, etc. Might get some use on schoolies, too. Would extra length be a good idea?
Anyone who knows about these things, please chime in. My casting stroke is pretty versatile - I tend to adjust to the rod I'm fishing. Looking for quality, durability, and good "feel", as in being able to sense the stages of the cast.
Thanks for your help.
