Gotta say that so far everyone who's responded has the same opinion. I'm guessing based on real world experience.
And one of the surest ways to kill a fish is to fight it for a long time on an underpowered rod if it doesn't break off.

Hey Jason ---You will get a 100 opinions out of 100 different people - go fish what you have and have a good time fishing (and try not to kill anything you are not going to eat).I've got a few rods in that weight class - if you are interested, you can cast a few of them to see how you like them and figure out better what you would want to go out and purchase.You'd be surprised what some rods out there are capable of (Eagle Claw Featherlight...)PM me if you want to cast some.Vic

Most of my fishing is for smallie's on the potomac in the fletchers area, along with the occasional carp and trout fishing. I'd like to get a 5 WT so smallie's are still fun to fight, but I can still manage to haul in a big carp. I'm looking to spend in the range of $200-450 for the rod and reel combined. Any suggestions??Thanks,Jason Hanerfeld
