Believe it or not - I used to be a LT junkie. Was after the IGFA 2lb test records years ago when that opened up. The first couple years - not many guys messed with the ultra light stuff. The record book was wide open. Slowly but surely - guys put some good fish in the book.
It was fun - but I got tired of 1 hour " fights " with mid sized fish , busting off fish , breaking rods , etc.
I still LTJ when it's right - but prefer 2-3 bigger fish then a bunch of mid sized ones.
The real thrill is 80lb gear - 40 lbs of drag. Big fish damn near pull you out of the chair as they tow the boat around. Once you mess with that - light gear just is not the same.
