Looking for rod advice

Looking to replace an old Sage 590 LL..

What I want is a 5 wt, 10' 4 piece with the same moderate action as the old LL series. Seems the market is now saturated with fast and ultra fast rods which I dont typically like.

Any ideas?

Id have to say the redington ct. You wont match the LL with anything, but you can get close.

orvis access...........have a 10' 4wt 4pc and love it.....around $350.....

+1 on the Orvis Access. The mid flex is beautifully relaxed without being noodley.

A 5 wt CIRCA.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Unfortunately, none of the models suggested have a 10' flavor.

Why ask here for advice. After all it is you using it. When ever I buy a new rod this is the last place I want for advice.

Might a Sage 99 work? It's not exactly fast and gets you close to that 10' mark.

Call Kerry Burkheimer. He builds first class equipment and will not be satisfied until you are.

Maybe try a 10' 5 wt TFO BVK. I have the 10' 4 wt and it's definitely more of a medium action.

Get the CIRCA and stand 18 inches closer to where you want to fish. The longest LL rod I've seen was a 9 footer. Only way to get a longer one with a light action may be to get a czech nymphing rod.

My beulah platinum has a very sexy action, its not 10 foot though. The guide has a sexy slow action too.

I haven't casted Circas yet but I bet they are real nice.

Mike's suggestion of the '99' may be an option. There are rod series that are moderate action, but you will really have trouble finding a 10' 5 weight. The 4 weight '99' with a 5 weight line is really quite a nice moderate action rod.

10' 5 wt TFO BVK and St. Croix Hight Stick Drifter each might be worth looking into. I haven't used either of these specific rods.

10' 4wt Scott A4 with Gold wf5f. This setup has changed the way I fish, does everything but tiny dries well. Any other ballsy 10 foot 4 should fit the bill. Check out the Greys xf2 also.

I think Winston used to make exactly that rod configuration in the WT series, but that was a long time ago. Now, I think Kyle's suggestion or the Sage 99 are your best bets. Nothing else comes to mind.

AH, A Winston WT 10' 4wt. That would be a badass rod!
Now I want one, look for a used one. You know I'm going to, ha ha.

If you want budget, what about Angler's Roost? They have a couple of light line rods built on IM6 graphite blanks, an 11' 2/3wt and a 10' 3/4wt. I have no idea how they fish, although I did just order the 10' 3/4 just for kicks (at that price point, why not?) & for Euro-style nymphing techniques and perhaps (if I like it) for use out of a float tube.

sorry, didn't read the original post, you're looking for a 5wt.

It was a 5wt actually.

Ya, but it sound's sexy cool on a toon or nymphing. Here are the specs on the WT, it looks like the 10' would be rated slow.
