I would agree that a 10 weight will be more versatile. If you are planning to fish for those big fish listed by others in this post (esp offshore fish) then the 12 weight may be perfect. I have only used one for giant trieially on one trip to Christmas Island (my other trips there I took a 10 weight ). I have traveled a lot for fishing and found I just didn't enjoy a 12 weight (and even a 10 weight is a bit of a broom handle). For reference I am a 5'5" woman and have a desk job so the physical challenge of using such a big rod is a factor. If I can get away with an 8 weight (or for that matter a 3 weight) I am going to - so long as I can get the fly to the fish and then should I hook the fish fight the fish successfully without killing the fish.
