Sterkfontein probably also sells many 5wt.'s with some dry fly and small nymph fishing on light tippets.
Agree David , for the casual fly fishers this is the tool to get into the sport. Most beginners also ask for a rod to cover different types of fishing and we also suggest that a 5, 6, 5/6 is a good start. My initial post was aimed more at fly fishers who have some experience.

a 10" #5 rod is a lovely rod for fishing thin tippets and buzzer patterns on still waters.

Nymphing, adds depth to your fly fishing.
Nymphing, is fly fishing in another dimension
Point taken. If I had R50k and had to start my quiver from scratch today, I would likely buy a 8' #2, 11' #2, 10' #4 and a 9' #6.
But new rods are expensive and a 2, 3, 5, 7 quiver also covers a lot of ground and incorporates quality #5's that were bought when I was simpler.
