And you don't own a 2 weight WHY?

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.

I need to build one, A crappie on a two weight is just pure fun

What length did you build? Where was the kit from?
Curious minds want to know!

I have a 1 wt and a 2 wt and they are both a blast to fish. Melk, a 2 wt would be perfect for fishing for Brookies in the small streams you have in your neck of the woods.

I built a 2 WT 6'6"from a Sevier tiger eye blank. It was a Christmas gift for my fishing buddy Mike. I liked it so much I built myself a 2 WT 7' from a blank I bought on ebay. They are a blast to chase eastern CA stockers in small creeks.

6'6 Forecast. I had a terrible experience with the company I bought the kit from, so I won't mention their name.

I've caught a few carp with a 6 foot , 2wt fiberglass fly rod. as long as you do not over react to the carp's first run; it is a blast . bring a net too!

i have access to a lake where a two weight would be fun for bluegills etc. however i am back to using a 6wt and 12 lb tippet in another lake with descent numbers of channel cats if you do not put the wood to them they bury themselves in the weeds or get around a snag in about 2 heartbeats

Bluegill and small largemouth are great on a 2wt with surface flies.

I like a small Muddler with floatant on the surface.
