I used to be a huge advocate of 2wt rods and how much fun they are........and this is true. When I started building and playing with glass rods it changed my outlook on things completely. What I wanted from the 2wt rods was to give the fish a chance to show his stuff and make it a more even fight (read more fun). However, I can get that from fishing a glass 4wt since they will bend into a full C with even a 6" gill, but the 4wt line enables me to cast a wider range of flies.

I just sold my Forecast 2pc 2wt since I used to fish it with a 4wt line anyway. I just built a Lamiglass 7.5' 4wt that is going to replace the old "2wt" in my quiver.

Either way, you would not be dissapointed going for a 2wt rod as your fishing pleasure for the average fish that most of us catch will sky rocket. Give it a go!
