I am curIous to what others have in there kit? I looking at adding to my selections and I was curious to what you have and what role it plays in your fishing.

For trout and panfish, I have a Cabelas 8'6" 5 wt as wf5 on a cabelas reel, tfo bvk 9' 5 wt rio gold Wf on a Lamson Guru.

For bass and inshore saltwater, I just added a sage flight 9' 8 wt rio clouser on Ross CLA4.

Looking at adding in the future 3 and 4wt for smaller trout and panfish in some tight cover creeks and streams, a 6 wt bass and saltwater not sure what length, a 9 wt and 10 wt for inshore saltwater.

For trout and panfish you need a much lighter rod. I have a couple of 2wts that I LOVE. A 3wt is OK, but I still prefer the 2. I'd like to have a 1. Once you fish the lighter rods, you'll not want to chase panfish and trout with mid weight rods anymore. FUN!
