Im in the longer rod camp as well!
I use a very 8ft 4wt sage rod and am convinced that it is still to short in most cases.
The long rods are way more useful in general and the short rod hype you read about on the net and in books is unsubstantiated at best.
The fact that 13 foot Tenkara rods are marketed
as the best small stream solution proves the point.
Also, dont break the bank. I bought my old sage used many years ago. Its way to fast for a 3wt, inaccurate, the reel seat wobbels, the guide thread wraps are coming undone, and it has zero sensitivity.
In other words, its the perfect brookie rod! I still love it and have no need to ever replace it. Unless of course it breaks ha ha.
