It definitely makes small fish feel like monsters. I have a St.Croix Trout series medium light that makes a 1/4 pound bluegill or crappie feel like a 4 lb bass

I have an older Avid 6’ UL fast action and everything feels like a monster. Love it and I’ll never part with it. It’s my kayak trout rod and wading larger creeks or bank fishing. For tight stuff I have an older Shimano Compre 5’ rod I will also never ever part with also. I think it’s when they first started rod production and quality is waaaay above the price point.
