What sort of water (i.e. lake, small pond, etc.)? Do you
see a lot of wind? If wind isn't an issue, a 2 wt. for small
water, or a 3 wt. for bigger water would be about right (IMHO).
Since a day w/o wind around here is almost unheard of, I'm
partial to an 8' 4 wt. for bluegill. Unless the wind is
*really* up, it works a treat. A 3 wt would be a good compromise
for most folks.

Also, unless you're float-tubing, you'd probably be happier
with a rod of 8' or shorter for bluegill (IMHO).
