Sharks on a 5 Weight!
A couple of years ago we were fly fishing for Mako's out of San Diego with Dave Trimble using 12w. and 14w. rods. During a slack period Dave got out a 5 weight and said let's catch some mackeral for more bait. After having some fun doing this a blue shark came in and took the fly on the 5w. I was using. This turned out to be GREAT fun and I did get it in. Thankfully it was only a small blue.
My point is, I was quite suprised with what you can do with a small rod. I don't think I'd target sharks with a 5 weight, but it can be done.
