Like I say in some of my reports I either go way small or way big. And there ain’t a much more fun way to catch a 5er than a CHATTERWAGON!! I actually use the 7’10 Hvy Mod but the 7’5 is a fantastic rod for it as well. I’ll tell you right now, if you get that setup and catch a big one on it, you’ll never want to pick up a fairy wand again. Nothing like a giant absolutely locking up a 7’10 rod.
