6wts

Scott Flex, one sweet stick with tons of feal and not fast.

I’ve never cast a Burkie single hander but I have a spey rod. Beautiful rods, and great customer service.

If you want to cast a Burkie, check out their DAL series of blanks if you want a relaxed cast.

@Paige, I’ve got a 906 Burkie Sea Trout you can try alongside the Sector

I have a number of Scott rods, my favorites of which are the 6wt Sector and 5wt Radian. My son has the 7wt Centric and is just about the nicest rod I've used. Very forgiving fast action. It would be interesting to compare cast the Sector and Centric to see what you think.

But if I’m throwing a big salmon fly dry in the wind does it have the nuts?

I bought my 6 wt G Series for exactly this cast.

I’ll throw this out there based on no self knowledge but seems to get a lot of good reviews. The Douglas Sky G.

I have both the Douglas Sky and the Sky G in 6wt and I like them both. They are both fairly fast rods but smooth with feel. They remind me a lot of the Hardy Zenith. For all I know they might come from the same factory in Korea as the Hardy's.... I think the Sky G maybe feels a little lighter in hand, but the action is very similar to the Sky. I fish them side by side and hardly notice a difference.

Try a Winston. Pricey, but great feel.

I have their 6wt DAL...one of my favorite streamer rods...I also cast size 10 dries with it in AK...

My 9'-5" six weight Burkheimer is my all time favorite 6-weight.

Nice rod. I fish with one too….

I've owned and fished somewhere in the realm of 63.5 million 6 wts. I've liked some, hated a few, and loved many.....The Helios 3D is the one I'd take to my grave.

Have you fished an NFC LMX 6wt? Asking because I want to build a 6 and have been eyeballing that one.

I have the 5wt in that blank and like it quite a lot. Super crisp. On the faster side of my preferences, but not outrageously so....great in wind.

Perfect thank you very much! That is the exact type of rod I wanted to go with, will drop by next week and see about picking one up.

I actually haven't fished/cast any NFC fly rods. I've messed a bit with a few gear rods on their blanks, but nothing in the fly realm.

I use an LMX 10' 6# out of my pram and like it a lot. True to line rating. Crisp is a good description. NFC makes good products...
