With so many fly rod choices, it is a good idea to get a test cast before you buy. (STEVE ANGERS PHOTO)

There are so many rod choices these days that it boggles the mind. Fast action, medium fast, medium, slow. Mid flex, tip flex. Six foot. Ten foot. One weight. Eight weight. It’s enough to make someone cry.

On top of all the actions, you need to find a line that will optimize your rod’s power and your casting stroke. It takes a little bit of time to find the combination to match your style, the waters that you wish to fish, and the type of flies you want to fish.
