What is the action and power of your rod?

That makes sense. I was tentative on the 2# mono, so went with 4#. Our reels are rated for 4-8lb test; wonder if 2# would work? I appreciate the insight on the 2# FC leader. Would have never thought of that. We are using M action rods, and M power rods. Pretty generic. What would you suggest?
