I have a 10' 6 wt. TFO Signature Series rod I've been thinking of selling. It's a very nice rod, in excellent condition, if you are interested. It's a 4 piece. It has a Cabelas reel, with new WFF Rio Gold line. It's worth $300+ new with the reel and line. I'd let it go for around $200. I have 2 6wts. and don't really need both.

I like 9.5 footers personally. The Greys XF2 series is nice or the older X-flite. Powerful without being too quick which is terrible when bobber fishing.

You can't go wrong with an Echo 3. I own the 10ft 6wt and it is a treat to use on still waters. For the price ($350) it is hard to beat.

My two chironomid rods are the St. Croix Legend Ultra 6wt 10ft and the Amundson Wind Warrior Stillwater 5wt 10ft. Both cast like a canon, the Amundson is a more sensitive rod but had to replace the cork handle after three years of use. Love casting both of these rods, either of them can roll over a double chronie rig with ease.
