What does it matter, if it's legal? I myself use medium gear. I catch a few...I lose a few. Its called fishing, not catching.
yeah your right about that. i think that the thing that i hate most about it is the fact that when the people using that heavier gear then me break off. i hook it and have no chance in hell of getting my light gear free. yeah thats the thing i hate about it. i use the heavier gear around purdy creek and when nessacary.

but i'd much rather use light gear cause its a hella of lot easier to break off a foul hooked fish when you are using 10lb test.

cause theres nothing like dragging a foul hooked fish in, exspeacially when it takes for ever sometime too. just to watch them float belly up. YEAH I COULDN'T RESIST THAT ONE
