what size rod?
Message:
5.6, 6, 6.6, 7? I'm in the market for getting a ugly stik lite and i cant really tell what i need. The 5.6 rod is a light and holds 4-8 lb line- so does that mean that rod is really ment to catch a 4-8 lb fish? i cant see catching fish bigger than 8 lbs around here to often, so is that the size i should get? or should i get a medium 6.6 holds 6-15 lbs line im mostly going for bass or perch or what ever is really biting in the surrounding lakes. how do i tell what size i need?
