Hmmm... Tough one! For my Trout Fishing I use a 7 1/2' 4wt Bamboo or a 7' 3wt graphite depending on how tired my hand is and who I'm fishing with (If my wife is with me she uses the 3wt). If I'm casting into the w*nd I would prefer the 3wt with the Wulf Triangle Taper 2-3. I never have a problem casting that line in the w*nd!
For Salmon and Steelhead it is a Sage 886-3 RPLXi 3 piece 8wt.

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).
