What to look for in a fly rod?

I say get a five weight if you're going to fish mostly rivers. Get a six weight if you're going to fish mostly lakes. Either will work on both so go with what/where you prefer to fish.

9' would be the shortest I would consider in those sizes. As for action that is all about casting preferences. In that price range the differences will not make that big of difference imho.
