Nick, you have a Radian in 6? It’s tough. Radian has some lightness to it but the meridian is a slinger too. Might be lines on rod.
Ya I have both. The Radian is a fantastic rod but in my hands I prefer the power of the Meridian

Blast from the past. Haven’t seen that name brought up in a number of years.
I used to run into a couple while beach fishing for salmon that used those rods.
They may have been reps for that rod line or something like that. My memory isn’t what it used to be.

Loomis GLX 6 weight (Classic) for me. That rod, 20+ years old, generates super high line speed, throws a line like a frozen rope, is super light, and is not broomstick stiff. The rod that started the super light fast action rod with a soul movement. I can use it for trout fishing, I can use it for light bonefish, I can use it for saltwater beach fishing, for summer steelhead - to me, it's the quintessential all-around one rod PNW fly rod...Scott Meridian 9' 6 is hands down my favorite rod.
Orvis Helios 3D 9' 6 is probably 2nd.
Hardy Zenith 8' 9" 7 one piece is right in the mix as well but I don't fish it anywhere near as much as I used to.
Lately I've been fishing a 9' 12 wt Redington Vapen black and have become pretty attached to that as well but mostly because I've been having so much fun catching albacore on it
