Hi folks, new comer here, but I will add my comments if that is alright.
I would say that the tackle would determine the answer to that question.
If you catch a 5# bass on a tuna rod, not much there, but catch a 5# bass
on a 2 weight, and you might get a big smile out of it.
My self, I prefer blue gill on a 2 weight or a steelhead on an 8 weight.
