Glass...wooohoo, love it! E glass for the light weights and S glass for 5 wt and up.
The shorter the rod the faster it will be. I have a 6' 3wt that I really don't care for. It is so fast it lis like a thin broom stick. I also have a 5'3" Fenwick 5 wt glass...it really likes Wulff Triangle taper.
I have never overloaded a rod to slow it down, but I know it works to a degree. I just go buy the rod with the action I want and use the designated line.
Thing about glass is they will usually come in two sizes, like a 4/5 or a 5/6..etc. In that case the smaller to fasten it up and vise versa.
I love slow action and that is what I use. Glass, bamboo, full flex graphite.
However, my 2 wt is a 7'9" Sage LL that I got for a killer price. I put it more as a medium action. But I can cast nymphs with it and maybe a BB slip shot. (love to nymph)
I have two glass blanks I am going to be putting together this winter.
If someone who has never cast glass, try an "S" glass or a half and half, I think you would love it.
