6 weight for smallies?
I am in the process of researching an upgrade for smallmouth fishing. The vast majority of my smallie fishing is river fishing, and I tend to toss flies with some weight or bulk. I wondered if there are options in the 6 weight class that would offer the backbone to toss the bigger flies without going to a heavier weight rod. I ocasionally get into better fish, but as you all know, alot of river smallie fishing involves those scrappy foot longers. My low rent pflueger 6 weight is plenty rod to land every smallie I have ever caught, but can be a struggle casting clousers, foam frogs, deer hair and such. Any recommendations?
