I did notice a bit of a difference between the two, with the 691 (fighting butt) feeling and swinging lighter for some reason. The 691 seemed to have more power then the 690, when I double hauled the rods to compare them. I believe both rods would take care of most all of someone's needs for larger dry flies, hopper droppers and streamers.
