Paired with Shimano 150 Matanium with 15# braid and 20 floro leader. Throwing Evo rattletrap with 4" trailer into the marsh grass. Plenty of power to pull reds out of grass with the super high tides flooding the marsh. Great rod.
I own 8 Old Eighteen rods and have sold several to clients that I guided after they tried mine.
Great support and great company.
