Smith 80p/35 just got here. As for the reel...I am still saving. Can't wait to bust a few tuna up there this summer.

It is rated for a little over 100g I think but not exactly sure. IT is the rod Randy recommended that I got. I am saving for a Stella 10000 or the new 18000 depending on how much I want to save!

IT is definitely sweet but $1100 bucks is pretty steep. I am going to be saving for a looong time!

It is definitely worth it but still a lot of money. IT breaks down at the foregrip.
