Kidding, sort of, but here's the dilemma. I used to have a beater Hobbs Creek 8 wt that I used for everything "heavy" including warmwater river and pond kayak as well as light saltwater (for example, trying to land a stray bone on a Caribbean trip, mostly hooking into small yellow snapper). I broke the tip and the warrenty didn't cover it. Oh well, time for a new beater.
But then I found the TFP professional II. I love the med-fast action, which is what I prefer for trout rods. So I bought it on sale. The problem, I'm now thinking, is that the med-fast action will reduce its "do it all" options. Will I be outgunned on a Caribbean trip? Will I lose distance or big bug turnover power on the lakes?
Any thoughts?
