{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: 8WT Recon Selection

Doug,

Can't speak to the 7'11" but I love the 9' Recon 8wt I have. Pretty much my go to rod for anything bigger than 5wt (its been overkill in a number of situations but I like fishing it). Several reels and line configurations were acquired so I have a lot of options. Had the crap beaten out of it and it keeps on throwing big clousers and bass bugs on tight loops. I imagine the shorter rod will perform equally well.

Cheers,
Jim

I'm looking to a pick up a new 8WT.  I'm between an Orvis Recon 9' 8WT vs. the 7'`10" 8WT model.  

I'm assuming the 7'10" would be a great small mouth, red fish, and boat rod, but am not 100% sure?  Does any body have experience with the 7'10" Recon, if so what are the pros/cons?

Thanks,
Doug
