I will take a fly rod and put one of those trigger cast ultra light reels on it for fishing narrow creeks. Ill wade the middle and use the reach to flip it under cover next to the bank.

Cool! Good idea.
I have 2 of the same rods w/ Penn 3000 Battles. Love my St Croix rods!
My favorite big fish rod is an Echo BAG quickshot 9wt. It’s is fast for fiberglass but doesn’t have that broomstick feeling of today’s graphite fly rods. I have an Allen Atlas reel on it and it is an absolute cannon with the airflo intermediate line on it.
For little fish I have a Blue halo 3wt. The blanks were a gift and I wrapped the guides and made the handle and reel seat insert out of an old cedar tree that doubled as a fence post off the farm. It’s a slower traditional action which I really enjoy when breamming or chasing trout. It’ll handle size 6 streamers pretty well too. Guaranteed to make that little fish feel like a hog and always puts a smile on my face. It has a special place for me as it was my first build. I hope when I pass it down to my little fishing buddies that it’ll bring them as much enjoyment as I have gotten.

Here is a pic of the little guy.
Nice!
Thank you
My go to rig is my Shimano stradic 3000 with a St. Croix mojo bass rod. 7.5 ft medium light action. I spool it with 10 lb power pro and run a 10 ft mono top shot, usually 8 lbs. The mono disappears in the water and the rod is the most sensitive I have ever used. Lots of fun. I have a second setup just like it expect it's a st Croix premier rod. It's not quite as sensitive but still lots of fun. I'm primary a bass fisherman, usually under 6lbs.
Custom stick a friend of mine built me. I just got it today
