The main rods I use are capable of casting heavier weights but this kind of defeats the rod's action and sensitivity. Lighter rods, and their associated tackle, give a far better 'feel'. The angler is more in contact what is going on at the business end, from the first tentative take, to when the fish slides onto the beach.
As you have light rods I am confident you will believe they are the more enjoyable to use. Yes there would be times when heavier rods would be an advantage, but this is out of necessity rather than enjoyment.
Good comments.
