Hey Mdram,

Here is my take. I like to fish bluegills as well as bass. But when I'm
fishing for bluegills, I prefer to play them on a 3 wt. It's a great match.
When I go bassing, I normally fish a 4 to 6 weight. When a bass hops
on my gill rod, I'll test him. If he feels too strong and I'm concerned
for the rod, I can sometimes lose him by giving slack. Otherwise I just
point the rod at him, hold the line and let him terminate the connection.*G* Warm regards, Jim
