Well, after a month or so of testing rods I finally decided which rod I wanted to drop the coin on. I fished sage (Z-axis 5, 6, and 7wt), orvis (helios 5wt), ross (essence FC 4, and 7 wt), and reddington. The rod I chose to drop the big coin on was a Helios 5wt 6.5 mid flex. I paired the rod with a Ross Evolution LT #3 with Rio Grand line (for now). I got the rod about a week ago, but didnt get the reel until today due to some back-order issues at ross, but the final rod/reel set up is like a match made in heaven to say the least!
I also ended up buying 2 ross essence fc rods in a 4 and 7 wt. These rods are an amazing feeling rod, and i'd recommend them to anyone who is interested in a high end rod for a great price!
Thanks to everyone who gave me input on my old post! It helped a bunch in my decision making.
