Looks like this is a continuation of your post about 2 wt CGR vs Maxcatch.
https://ultralightflyfishing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=12634&p=100356#p100356From a kayak, rod length matters, so I'll stick with my recommendation that you look at 3 weights. Don't own any Maxcatch rods but have seen many good reports. Find a 7'6" or longer 3 wt and pull the trigger. Not trying to be too cavalier but from personal experience I know how entering a new activity on a limited budget can get you trapped in analysis paralysis. Especially in the fly fishing world where people can get hyper particular. You won't know what you like in advance, so you just have to take a leap of faith, buoyed by the knowledge that even inexpensive rods today can exceed the performance of mid to high end rods a few decades back.
Thank you very much for you insight. I do currently have 2 rods. A 9’ 6wt and a 9’ 9wt. Both Redingtons. The 6wt isn’t a whole lot of fun for panfish. That’s the main reason I want to go with a lighter rod.
BTW, where in Jersey are you from? I grew up in North Jersey.
