I'm the kind of guy that goes for big fish with light tackle. Gives the fish a fighting chance.
If you're fishing open water, then absolutely. But sometimes you need to get the bait into laydowns, or heavy weeds, or big rocks that would shred light tackle. Most of the time I'm not matching my tackle to the fish I'll be catching, but rather to where those fish live.
