Get in car, head to a stream, wader up, put rod in hand and lay line on water. Rod will work....A bit on the heavy side for me.

Wolly give it to me I can make it a 10 piece rod that ( new creation)can work anywhere.

A 4 wt is a nice all round rod for small stream fishing especially small to medium spring creeks.

Being a 7 piece, it can easily be packed in a suitcase.

So where do you find small to medium spring creeks requiring tavel with a suitcase?

Montana and the Catskills come to mind,

but my recommendation is New Zealand around Tirau.

And of course Fern would love to go to the land of the Silver Fern.

And being somewhat hobbit like yourself, sans hairy feet, you would fit right in at Hobbitown.

So now I have to shave my feet before I fish?

Ok my flytying skills are far above my gear knowledge and skills.

What would be the "best" backing for my new reels? (twoweight 5s and a wieght 4)

You could try braided foot hair.

 

Or maybe 20 pound dacron.

If you catch a fish bigger than that on those puppies, look out.

Braiding foot hair takes too long so I'll try the dacron

Wooly: How do you know that braiding foot hair takes to long?

[woolly]

Short hairs so I keep droping them

Sweet rod! I have a 2 piece Sage 4WT that I love, hence the Login Name. Might I suggest Swan Lake this Spring? Strip a Leech and HANG ON! Those Giant BOW's will make short work of a 4WT if you show up without your A-game! See me pictured here with a sweet 24" tipping the scale at 6lb 4oz...caught on the above mentioned 4WT...he grabbed hold just as I was about to take the fly out of the water and ran me into my backing twice.

 

Have fun with that new stick.

I say match the rod to the flies you're casting. I use my four wt for smaller, lighter flies. If I go to Swan, I want a good Leech-chucker.

Now I know the sage 4wt a sweet rod but even sweeter is my Sage 1wt can not wait to take that out to Swan and chuck those tungsten intruders I've been tying. Talk about hold on.
