For streamer chucking, I've really been enjoying the G Loomis IMX-Pro V2.

Single Hand or Steelhead rods?
I assume single hand rods.
I have not tried or even seen one yet but have read and heard a couple decent things about the newer Echo Trout X rod. Not to be confused with its trout series. This rod comes in real light weight.

Go glass for these!!
hadn't thought of it..from who?
Depends how much you want to spend…
Steffen, Kabuto, Barclay, Epic or McFarland on the high end. The steffen, Kabuto and epics may be a bit faster, ie slightly closer to graphite.
Glass is such a fun hopper dropper fishing tool. Just thinking about wet wading and fishing golden stones on the upper Met with a glass rod in the summer makes me smile.
I thought you were a big fan of the Aetos? Got some money burning a hole in your pocket?
I've got a (still has plastic on the cork) Echo 3, 9' 4wt I'd part ways with if you're interested. By no means a $500-$600 rod, but it holds its own as a dry fly rod. PM me if you're interested.
Oh, PS....favorite SH = Hardy Zephrus 10' 5wt. It speaks my (shitty) casting language quite well.

yep, fan of 6 wt Aetos as vg price point boat rods family and newbie guests are free to abuse (and they do)
starting with new river rods at my age and likely the last ones I buy...
Used Scott G
There are so many good rods out there! Find one and enjoy it.
Sage X 691 on sale. They’re still out there.
Orvis Helios 3 6wt also on sale.
Echo Trout X 905
But really, if you’re getting two, I’d do a 6wt and a 4wt. Like a T&T Contact II 10’ 4 if you do more nymphing or a Scott G 904, and then a 6wt.
Edit: Apparently I didn’t finish my thought/sentence.

Too many to choose from but if I had to -
Sage X 486-4 if you can find one and like to work with lighter setups.
Also, what everyone else said…

I have a slightly used Western Glass 8'-6" 5wt 3pc. This blank was rolled by CTS for Liv, prior to when CTS stopped doing 3 party blank rolling.
