    For smallmouth, I think the SA Frequency Magnum would be a good line. It's rated a 1/2 size heavy and designed to throw bigger flies and poppers.

    I agree with the CDC and Deer. Or you can use Elk. For a mayfly pattern, you can't beat a Parachute Adams. Easy to tie and you can use different colored dubbing.

    I like idea of using silicone as opposed to using Weldwood that Joe Hyde used. I would think it would be a lot easier to remove from fiberglass it it became necessary. Never thought about...

    You may have pulled to firmly when extending. I have not had that problem. As suggested, there is a video on Tenkara USA that shows how to loosen stuck sections.

    I also have that rod in a 5wt. I am currently using an older (1/2 wt heavy) Rio Gold wf5f line on it. And really like it. Loads well off the tip for close work and longer casts as well. I would also...

    I think you 5wt will be fine. Just like all other fly fishing the weight rod you use should be based on the size flies you intend to cast and not on the size fish you are targeting. It's a lot easier...
