Heavier Line Possible? - CaliOkie - 06-06-2012
Hi all,
So last weekend I bought me a new fishing pole. It is a light pole (5'6" with a 2-8lb line weight).
I used it last weekend and caught mostly small bream. My question; is it possible to respool with a heavier weight line even though my pole is a light pole? I want to go bass or cat fishing this weekend. Or do I need to buy a heavier pole?
Thanks in advance!

That pole is made for small fish. A good bass will snap that baby. I don't cat fish, maybe they other guys can ring in, but I assume it would be better to get a 6'6" or 7' med action or med/ heavy for those cats. Thats what I use for bass. I use 8-10lb braid for most of my bass rods. Thats just me. [

That's what I figured. At least it gives me a reason to buy a new pole, right? [laugh]
Thanks for answering my question, I really appreciate it!
