Joe, Nice looking fly man.

In the past I have fished with a 4wt. for smallies and that is all fine a dandy for smaller fish. Then I learned my lesson when I caught my first 20+ inch smallie. I liked to never get that beast in the boat. After that I usually fish with a 6wt or 7wt. rod. Just my oppion.
