What's your favorite Penns Creek rod?

I have used an 8'6" 4 weight there on occasion.
Late summer and fall, when the water is at its lowest point of the year (usually}

But the fish are so spooky under those circumstances, that being able to make longer casts with the heavier rod, outweighs any advantage gained by using a lighter rod - from my experience.
But I'm just fishing dries on the big slow pools
 
On my penns trip this past may i used my 9’ 5wt st. Croix legend ultra. Ill be heading back up in a few weeks and plan on giving my 6wt a try just to see how it is for hitting the far bank and streamers. generally i think a 9’ 5wt is good, my 5wt doesn’t fish streamers as well as id like though and could be a touch faster.

Hopefully get into some iso’s and october caddis.
