Thanks for the responses. The reason I feel I am under gunned with the 5 weight is even when trout fishing in lakes it is hard to cast the bigger streamers in the wind. Also the places I have been bass fishing do not have too much cover and moss yet to pull the fish out of but I understand how that could be an issues later on in the year.
I want to get this new rod to cover all my stillwater fishing needs from bass to trout fishing in a float tube or kickboat. The biggest thing it needs to do is cast streamers and poppers in possible windy conditions. I am leaning towards a new 6 weight but know I am thinking a 7 weight might be a good compromise. Not too big for stillwater trout yet big enough when I target bass.
