Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Orvis rods/line

I would stay in the less expensive range.  I fish a 6wt for bass most of the time up in the non-tidal Potomac, unless I'm casting big streamers or big poppers.  And then I want a Medium Fast 8wt to hurl large poppers or heavy streamers.  You don't need a $500 rod for that.

Spend the extra on flies and good waders. 

The big thing you will notice on a more expensive rod is weight.  The expensive rods weight less and are usually a bit faster action.  If your asking other people's advise, stay with a moderately priced rod.  Premium rods are like expensive cars. Do you need one?  ......  Would you enjoy one?

I own the 9'6" 6wt Clearwater which also has a fighting butt. To me, this rod has the backbone of a 7wt but is a breeze to cast all day and a lot of fun to fish. Great for bass, big trout water, shad, stripers, and saltwater. I'd recommend casting it before deciding on an 8wt.
