My 5wt took a turn for the worst today... it got caught in the truck and broke center piece. I fly fish for panfish only and have a blast doing it and not looking to break the bank. My father in law had picked up 3 rods out of the trash during a clean up day and 3 were fly rods
one is an older 2 piece 6' 6" eagle claw 3-4wt
one is an older berkly 3 piece 7'9" 5-6 wt
one is an older unknow all markings are gone but looks to be 8' and probably 6-7wt
i did some casting in the yard with the berkly and didn't like the feel
tried out the eagle claw also and it seemed like a cannon with the 6wt line
My question is are there any consequences I may run into with throwing 2-3wt higher line?
hoping this will get me thru the summer as the wife has frozen all my spending to pay more on some bills lol
