It is interesting to see that people who do understand the physics of fly casting come up with the very logical proposal of overlining a rod to cast heavy streamers in particular when casting smaller distances. Thanks for the video and guiding fly fishers to make the right tackle decision. In the European Alps we fish smaller streamers on 5-weights using 6-weight lines (from Kelly of course)

We all know Brian stayed in the back because he wanted a good view of Kelly’s form... Another great video. As someone who’s done almost no fly fishing but has always been fascinated, you guys produce seriously valuable content.

I started fly fishing with a 6wt and to this day it’s still my favorite rod size to use!

Arguably the most versatile. People will say a 5wt but good luck throwing big streamers, but a good 6wt can throw pretty light dries all the way up to meaty streamers. I love my 6!

i just ordered my first rod and it’s a 6wt. i thought i made a wrong decision because everybodys hyping up the 5wt but it’s good to see that the 6wt still has it’s fans. 😂

@@Kman82is it possible to fish for trout in rivers/streams with a 6wt?

@Kman82 2 ай бұрын

@notkeet absolutely. It won't be as delicate as a 3 or 4 but it's definitely doable.

@awaken77 3 ай бұрын

6wt is my main rod for stillwater fishing for rainbow trout. It's able to do long casts, punching through the wind, but also for delicate dry fly fishing when needed to. It's my workhorse for stillwater fishing - dry fly, dry-dropper, streamer on intermediate or sinking line.

Getting ready to try my first year fly fishing for trout here in southeast PA and I owe you a great deal for the education provided through this channel. Right now using all budget gear from local generic shops. Looking forward to the day when I can step-up to a nice rod and reel outfit and I know I'll be shopping your store when I do. Thanks again, Alec.

Great video Brian! I have been fishing the Niagara River (boat) with the StreamerX 8wt and 7wt with the Airflo Streamer Max Long for a year now. Both 250 and 300 grain lines get in the strike zone quick and are effortless to cast with the action of this rod. Thank you for all the insight and great content in your videos. Looks like it’s time to add the StreamerX 6wt to my quiver. Cheers.

6wt rods are the ultimate wading anglers streamer rod as said by Kelly Galloup himself. As a wade angler 99% of the time, it's my go to for sure.

@@Madriveroutfitters Hook a pike when smallmouth fishing, have it go crazy and break the rod tip. Throw a tight loop with a sculpin helmet fly and crack the rod, have the reel fall of the reel seat into the water......if it COULD happen, it's happened to me

I started fly fishing a 6 weight. My go to for a long time was a 4wt and recently got another 6. Ironically I don't own, nor ever have owned a 5 wt. I guess if your In dedicated trout country it makes sense but for mostly warm water with the occasional trout trip the 6 is more rounded.

Brian/MRO Team does this same mentality apply to the 84B? Just picked up the 84B 6wt from you guys. I only wade Darby creek, Clear fork, and other similar streams locally for smallies. Should I pickup a 7wt as well? Hahahahaha😂 I love this 84B 6wt tho! Just casting bass flies into a pond it’s simply amazing. I think I’ll Be super happy with the 6. Thanks for all you guys do. I’ve only been into the shop twice now and was greeted by name my second time last week. Amazing people!
