5 Weight Graphite

[salmo]

Looking to buy a 5 wt rod for my son 8-9 ft. Graphite in decent shape under $250.

Is this a starter rod you are seeking or one meant to last awhile?

I've been using an Echo Carbon rod, 9 ft - 5 weight, for a long time.
Its great, and modestly priced
Cost like $160 ,15-20 years ago
I'd guess its still in your price range

I have one too. Great rod and warranty.

Something to last.

Ok...I had a couple beginner rods.
Nothing of interest.

Taylor Dynamix, $220. If I didn't have four 9' 5 weights that would be the one I'd get.

I could build you a custom rod for that price.
