[black][size 3]I don't understand your "hang up" with large fish and small rods, but I will give you my opinion on this option.[/size][/black]

[size 3]I'm a catch & release type guy, so you will understand my feelings. Whenever you under gun yourself with small equipment, you stress the fish, giving them a small chance for survival.[/size]

[size 3]Like hunting moose with a switch.[/size]

[size 3]I have fished with people who felt the whole experience was enhanced by fighting the fish to the death. To me this eliminates the possible chance of releasing a fish that you don't want to keep.[/size]

[size 3]To me the big item is fooling the fish. If they take my offering, and are hooked, that the end. Landing them means nothing.[/size]
