Howdy Cap,
That is a good question. First I have to know the person and the back ground.
A Heavy rod in a bass fishers hand will just be powered out. Way to much power from the start, Were the same person with a light weight outfit would be afraid of breaking it and will use less power.
Now with a person that has a hands on personality would like the heavier rod because they could feel the load.
I would say it is a trail and error to find just the right combination for each student.
No one way it right.
