My buds and I joke about being "Manly Men" while doing various and sundry assorted things and this would qualify as being material worthy of a "manly man" but I would use a 6 or 7, or in my case , the only steelie weight I have, an 8 weight.

Sometimes, bigger is better.

But it would be fun to catch a steelie on a 4 or 5.

And, have a great New Year!
