My pal Gary Sandstrom is peddeling the Uniqua's. Had a first glimpse at one this weekend at the Steelhead festival at Welches. Ended up buying 2...lol
I personally think the 3 is a better choice for the switch, but a 4 would be ok. The 5 is nice, but a bit too large and might not balance out the switch. Gary has a windcutter and 150yrds backing on his 3 and it's perfect. I suppose the advantage to getting the larger one would be the option of putting backing and running line on it and changing out the head for a different rod down the road.
The 8wt would be my choice, especially the chance of getting into large fish on the Skagit.
Just my 2 cents.
