5wt favs!

[abbie mcmullen]

Ok, so I am considering getting myself a new 5wt. I current have a Redington Vice that I like ok. I have found that it can shoot line with the best of ‘em, but the presentation just sucks! Maybe I just need to work on my casting but regardless I think I want something with a little bit softer feel but still enough backbone to toss a decent streamer. Does anyone have experience with Douglas or Loop rods? Thanks!

I casted a loop rod once and it was one of the smoothest rods I've ever casted.

Definitely cast a Douglas rod.  

I really like older rods for this category (early graphite).  There are also a lot of good modern rods.  Orvis superfine glass is one that comes to mind, so is the Reddington Classic trout.
