5 or 6 weight rods with a medium- fast or fast action are ideal for casting indicators. A 9’ rod will handle most situations easily, but a 9.5 or 10 foot rod adds a lot of versatility while mending in faster currents and reaching mends across seams. A weight forward line’s shorter front taper allows smoother casting indicators and heavy nymphs. There are many lines on the market with long heavy heads ideal for nymphing. Reels just need to match your preference while balancing the rod, keeping it enjoyable to fish. Find one that you can comfortably fish with all day.
