Why not the Di7??
There is a difference between still waters, and bank fished stockie ponds. Dont confuse the two with the methods that you need to use to fish them. Nothing wrong with stockie ponds, but still water fishing is usually done from a boat or a float tube. If you are drift boat fishing, line sink rate becomes far more critical, and at times you need a DI5 and DI7. When bank fishing a stockie pond, you will be able to get away with a floater in almost all situations, unless, you are doing single booby fishing. If you are doing tubing, it really doasnt matter that much either, as you are able to hold your drift while a weighted fly goes down, even on a flaoting line.
