I made a very limber 7' 4wt PMQ cane rod just for goggle eye. It's a blast and really lets a fish show it's stuff. 4 wts bamboo rods are becoming my fav, they can cast a fairly good sized popper, a weighted streamer or big nymph. I do have a plastic 7' 1wt and it's fun and all but sort of limited if the wind picks up, I also have a TFO 3wt that is a great rod and I've handled 5lb bass on it before. A 3-4 wt would be a nice all around rod be it plastic or cane.
