Andover, MA/ Andover NH Posts: 18	I'm looking for a new salt water/big trout fly rod. My friend suggested a Colton Tradewinds 9 Weight Saltwater Fly Rod and it looked pretty nice. I think that I would like a 9 wt. but i'm open for suggestions.

I have only done a little fishing in the brine, and my 8 weight has been sufficient for what I did, but if I ever move close to the shore this is probably the rod I'll buy.

I do have a friend who regularly plays in the salt and he just bought a sage Xi2 it's a very sweet rod if you want to part w/ about $700. However I think it would be a little stiff for freshwater.
