Andy, in bamboo I have an RL Winston 7'6" 4wt with a Hardy Marquis reel that I love, a cheap Chinese 3wt that's fun, an Orvis Madison with a Battenkill reel that I fish as a 5 and a South Bend 290 that I fish as a 6. All are shorter rods which seem more comfortable for me, but I gotta admit, these slow 9 footers sure do cast beautifully and throw a lot of line easily.
Add in four glass rods and eight graphite and it's always a struggle deciding what to fish!
