I also own a 3wt. a 2wt couldn't be that much different. at least I would think.. prolly small bass gills or trout would be ok on it. to me my 3wt still doesn't do the gills and smaller bass around here justice. they don't take it to the reel hardly ever. only had 2 bass take me to my reel this year on the 3wt. i heard of a guy landing a great lakes steelie on his 4wt last week! he says he was bass fishing and it grabbed his bugger. almost got one on my 5wt tfo on a brown bugger bass fishing the same day but he missed the bugger when he came at it.
