Rod wt for Bluegill and Crappie

[Flicted Mike]

Wow, alot of opinions... Opinions are like some other things, everybody has one and they all stink. I want to build a 4 wt, but my best advise would be a 6. Bluegill and bass hang in the same 'hoods. Wouldn't want to have any bigger than a 4lb bass on a 4wt rod.

I use a 6wt most often. 1 to 2lb bluegill are quite common in the waters I fish most for them and those waters also have a lot of brush, stickups, tules to get wrapped up on. Too many fish hooked on 3 and 4 wts have been lost in that type of structure. I run into quite a few bass also in the same water.

My favorite rod currently is a St. Croix Premier 7'6" 6wt.
