I'm with you brother. I like a little more back bone. I use light line and 500 series reels, but I prefer a 6ft medium-light inferno rod from field and stream. 2lb and 4lb line has a lot of stretch. I get more hook-ups with a stiffer rod. If you're confident with an ultra-light rod, keep using it. For me I like a little more rod. Also I use a 5ft media rod for shooting docks . It's not a fitness think it just works best for me
