[quote remo_5_0]Get a 5 wt. cuz it's the best all around rod for trout around here....know what I mean cuz.[/quote]
I would have to agree with remo50 on that. A 5wt can still cast out a tiny fly, and catch a 20+inch trout (better fight those with the butt of the rod).
However I do prefer the 8wt when targeting bigger fish with bigger flies. Not only can you cast the heavy flies better, but you can fight the fish in less time.
For the record, I have only tried casting 5wt's as well as 8wt's......so I would probably like any wt. fly rod that was put into my hand.
Let us know how you like the 4wt.
