My fly fishing club raffled one of these off at our annual Christmas party and fund raiser. The rod is more than heavy enough for smallmouth and largemouth. It is very good at tossing heavy hair bugs, poppers, zonkers, and large woolly buggers.

I have no idea why they call it a bluegill rod. It is a 6-7wt rod, and seems too heavy for bluegill. One of the jokes around the club is that we want to find the bluegills that are supposed to match up with this rod. They would have to average about 2 pounds!!
