Most trout fishing surely doesn't require 60-70 foot casts; saltwater often does.
Stepping up to a 7 or 8 weight will help with getting distance, easier.
Distance with accuracy is part of what makes more expensive rods more expensive.
The rods I mentioned earlier are good at that price point & will get the job done. If you want to step up into the $5-700 range, take your pick from any of the major brands. They will get the job done a little easier & will be generally more accurate at the longer distance.
Sage & Scott make some great rods in that range; Loomis (much as I love them) only offers an IMX based rod in that range.
If you are willing to step up to that price range IMO, the Scott Wave in an 8 weight is unsurpassed today.
Do some research, read some reviews. The Yellowstone Flyshop is a great resource for reasonably impartial info.
