Dave's Rule #1 for picking the right number of coils? Err downwards! Think about what you catch the most, not what you want to catch. If you fish for 1 pound fish on Tuesdays and 15 pound fish on Wednesdays, then buy two different rods. More typically, we catch fishin in a range--2 lbs or less 2-6 lbs and so on. If you get the occassional 6 pound fish, don't step up to the 6 coil, stay with the 5 coil.
