>>1777518Guides recomend heavier stuff because they use heavier than nescessary gear because they want to ensure their clients land as much as possible.
It's just not as fun.
I guide Giant Trevally fishing in Kenya during the winter and the rods I give my clients are 100 pount xx Heavy setups, when I fish on my own I use a 65 pound medium heavy.
For your personal stuff I always recomend going as light as you can.
