Re: Advice for a rod for my Dad
There isn't a lot of difference between a 5 and a 6 wgt, until you stsart casting them with shoulder problems. Just my opinion heree, but the 8 foot 5 wgt seems to be more shoulder friendly. Anything over a 6 wgt and I'm good for maybe an hours fishing. That's the main reason I went to two handed rods for heavier weight lines. With a two hander I can cast a 9 wgt all day.
There, that didn't help much did it.
