Unless it sounds like I'm a light tackle purist, I'm not (although as a youth I was). I've fished lighter stuff more the past two years because of elbow issues and enjoyed it a lot. One of my favorite rods is, however, still a GSB1321M with a ZB25 and if I am at the canal or stuck in bad rocks that is what I'm carrying. The rod, however, is built nearly as light as can be done.
Thin braid has dismal abrasion resistance and powerful 11 ft rods balance poorly with small reels so if you are fishing in rocks where fish can't be allowed to run then big reels for the line capacity and powerful blanks certainly have a role.
