I generally keep a bank of rods in the shop, both for people to try out, and of course for me to fish with. Here are the tapers I currently have on the rack:
Dickerson 8615 tri-hex - 8ft6 6wt - this is my go-to rod for the Gray Reef
Paul Young Martha Marie's perfectionist - 7ft6, 4wt
Dickerson 6611 - 6ft6 4wt
Paul Young Driggs River - 7ft2 4/5wt
Gillum Salmon rod - Tri-hex 8ft6 8wt 3-pc
