27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Hello Gents,
I am in the market for a new 6 weight, and have been looking at the Sage VT2. Anyone use this rod? Opinions and other suggestions are certainly welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Charlie

my brother fishes this rod and loves it. I've casted it a few times and it seems to be as good a medium/fast rod as my limited skills can utilize.
