Re: New to South Branch Raritan River
That rod should be fine for smallies! I've caught some decent sized smallies out of the south branch with my 4'6" UL and 4lb mono. That being said, if you were going to go bigger, for the price you can go wrong with an Ugly Stick Elite. I just got one, it's a 6'6" Medium and it's awesome. I think its going to be my main smallie rod from here on out. I paired it up with a 1000 sienna i got from a secret santa and its great. I grew up near the south branch, its a great body of water. Agreed with some of the other guys here, your area will probably hold mostly trout, but Budd Lake has everything. Follow the river downstream and you'll find the smallies. Enjoy the new area! Ton's of interesting water to fish up that way.
