Great discussion topic! I would agree to most of them except I would feel a little undergunned with only 3's and 4's for your trout rod. I am probably not as good a caster as you but I find myself reaching for the 5's and 6's for eastern Washington trout, not because they are so big (but there are some dandies) but because of the 4 letter word that starts with a W. (Don't say it out loud, it might start blowing). What were the instructions to create that floss blow line? (grin).
