Ok, I found a duckett 7' medium light I liked
And was not sure if that would work

IMO anything above a light rod takes the fun out of using 2# line.
None of my business but I would think Ducket is a little expensive for this type fishing and offers no advantage (except the name) over what Alpha and I already suggested.

I went and held a few cheaper rods today and I am spoiled with light weight rods. I also get the duckett rods at dealer cost so for what I could pay for a Bass pro rod I can get the duckett. I guess my worry is that the medium light rod may break 2lb line more often compared to a light rod.... I remind you I have no idea what I am doing, 6lb is usually the lightest I fish with.

Oh, I purchased a 6' Field and stream Inferno medium light with an Okuma stratus reel for fathers day this year, I kind of forgot I had it. do you guys think this will work for 2lb line?

Fishing right now or would go into greater detail but I would not go higher than light action.

No further proof needed that you do not know what you are doing. Sounds like you have the dreaded CRS.

Seriously, What will you be fishing for with 2 lb line?
IMO, line breakage will not be the problem if fished properly. No jaw breaking hooksets regardless of what rod you use. Casting distance may suffer. If you have a good drag system on the reel you should be able to handle some nice fish.

Rods vary among manufacturers. Most ML action rods I have held are a little stiff to suite me. I was at Big Rock market at CH yesterday and picked up a ML Fenwick and to my surprise it felt very similar to my Light action Falcon. Only $59.
You have nothing to lose by trying what you already have.

If you need a guide just call me. I will leave my jinx at home.

Not sure what CRS is? I will be fishing for crappie, bluegill, trout because my grandfather wants to go to the caney. I think I will try the set up I have and see how it works, if I am not happy I will look into another rod and reel. Now all I need is the SOS line, I think Dicks carries it.

CRS=can't remember shit.

If you find SOS at Dick's please let me know. I have not been able to find it local.
I know a small tackle shop in Lewisburg has it, however last time I was there he had no 2#.

[XxthejuicexX]

Yes CRS is what I have, big Time! I will swing by dicks here shortly and see if they have the 2lb and let you know.

Thanks.

[SAMBOLIE]

Juice, what size is your reel? 10, 20 35 ?

[XxthejuicexX]

The 10, dicks has 6lb SOS. This spring they had a lot more sizes.i think I might have got the wrong line....it has a 2 in the size!

Probably a misprint on the box. Maybe someone with dyslexia is in charge of printing. Should be 02.
Go for it.
