Hmmm Bigcat and Dude.... point taken. I do love the pull of even the medium sized cats. One thing I've kinda wanted, and the reason for me wanting the bigger reel is I want the bait clicker. It seems to only come in the largest sizes... [unsure] I would have no problem going with the Abu combo at Wally World for forty bucks (I think) but I want the clicker... that being said, I'm sure I could be convinced to just go with a medium weight rod.... like you guys say, to keep the fun in it. I just don't know if they make the rods I want in medium weights.... Its kind of a bummer. I know that I would prefer to go light but my options in that sort of tackle with the features I want are limited.... I guess its an eastern or Midwest fishermans game when you get into Cat only tackle. They seem to just make everything so big for the blues and flatheads they have out there... If I could get a nice stiff Medium weight rod with a 5600 reel and the clicker, I'd be a happy catman. Any ideas where I can find a combo of that sort or is it wishful thinking??
