Building that two weight was one of the best moves I ever made.

1. The price was right. The kit was under $80. The reel was $14. The line was... well, the line was $35.

2. a 12" bass will put up a good fight



3. Exotics will put a nice bend in the rod



4. Decent sized bluegill will gain a whole new respect.



Put that 5wt. down. Get yourself a 2. Come see why the eyes of those guys twinkle when the subject of bluegill is mentioned.
