looking for a new 4wt

[flymantis73]

narrowed down to these rods:
Redington Classic Trout
Redington Voyant
Orvis Access
Okuma Guide
any one own or cast these models?
i have a nice Redington Rise Reel to pair it up with, i'm really leaning to one of their rods.
there is also the fiber glass butter stick.

after reading up on the butter stick, it's looking pretty nice.

I have an Orvis 6 1/2 foot 4 weight I'll sell you for a $100.00! I won it at a TU event and I already have too many 4 weights. Rod apppears brand new.

What model is it? Just so i can check the details on line...
thanks.

I have to check the model name when I get home tonight. It's one of the older out of production models (un-sanded blank) that are in vogue now due to the softer action. It's the same blank as high end but without the bling-bling reel seat. This rod has a black reel seat with rosewood spacer. It's real nice!

I own an Access 5wt and have fished it for two years. Casts great. I always wanted a 4wt and I was looking at some refurbished Orvis Helios 2 rods in the Manchester outlet store during a ski trip this winter. Last month I called around to the outlets and was able to find a refurbished H2, 8'6" 4wt in the Conway NH shop. $395. You don't get the 25 year guarantee, but it still carries the 100% satisfaction guarantee, so if you get tired of it you can get your $395 back or use it towards another rod. Have used it three times now and it casts a dry beautifully. Very accurate. I think it only weighs 2 1/8 ozs. You can get the Access for about the same price and it comes with the 25 year guarantee, but I am pretty careful with my rods and figured I would take a chance on the refurb. So far I have no regrets.

If it's a superfine I'll buy it if he doesn't want it.

I just rememered the model name; it's Rocky Mountain. As I recall Orvis advertised these as being the same blank as the Superfine. They just downgraded the finish to bring the price down.

I own a 10ft 4wt access. It's been a great rod. Bought it for nymphing but have been using it for dries as well. Casts great and has a pleasing price as well. I bought the package with the reel and the line. The line they pair with this rod seems very well matched. I tried it with a Wulff triangle taper and wasn't nearly as happy with it. My .02.

My best friend just got a 10' 4wt access and it's a hell of a for the price. I have a 4wt Helios 2 and wouldn't trade it for the world. Just my .02

I have a really nice Allen XA 10ft 4 weight fly rod. Fished it twice. If you are interested I would sell it for 200 bucks.

Redington classic trout 4wt for the win.
still keeping an eye on the butter stick, it seems to be catching anglers eyes, and fish.
