The vintage Howald Process Wonderod fly rods in shorter lengths and rated for lighter lines, to me, are the most durable (they do not take a set), and the most versatile when using a wide variety of flies, nymphs, mini-jigs, streamers, small spoons, small spinners,small plugs, bead heads, and natural baits. When paired with a top quality fly line, Wonderods cast smoothly with minimal tip vibration, present dry flies with delicacy, protect tippets (so long as you do not use a fly reel with a harsh drag system, and play fish wonderfully. *Make certain that the model you choose has at least one guide per foot of rod and is less than eight foot long.*Happy fishing!
