For Fly Fishing (I prefer fishing lakes):

• 9ft 5wt 4-piece Grays GR30; I've thought about getting a 3WT, but haven't yet. I just use my refular rod as a 4-piece is plenty packable

For Spin Fishing:

• Brookies and other small Trout:
  • Daiwa Spinmatic UL Travel Rod (4-piece) 6'
  • Pflueger President 25 with 4lb mono
• Large Browns and Bows:
  • Eagle Claw Pack-it Spin 6'6" 4-piece medium
  • Pflueger President 30 or 35 with 8lb mono
• I bring cheap rods because tubes to protect rods are heavy. I figured out that just getting cheap rods and replacing them as they get busted up is more economical and lighter.

I see your point but I have hiked 3 miles in to fish a stream only to realize I busted the tip off in the brush somewhere along the way.

For me the tube is piece of mind and really doesn't weigh enough for me to care about
