Personaly for added weight. A lil split shot like bass fishing weigh goes a long way. Other guys on here might not agree but i tie massive heavy streamers and toss them with even my 4 weight. You just gptta wath your back cast and keep your loop big. You givevupva little distance and might smack the back of your head a few times but its worth it when you hook a big fish.

The 5 wt. was the one I was more concerned about but I will give it a try until I can tie some smaller streamers. I currently dont have smaller streamers other than some wooly buggers but I have not had any success with them. As far as the fish type, I do understand what you mean . I did mention that I was going for small mouth in small lakes and river but maybe I should have clarified it was bass with some possible striper schoolies. I did not have much more information at that point due to not visiting the site yet. I will actually be adding a post about yesterdays trip right after this one. I plan on going back today to give it another try but please check out the post to help explain more.

I may have to go a little MCGYVER (for those under 30, it may involve chewing gum, paper clips and a little mental grease)and figure something out.
