I fished the Major Craft Finetail Banshee 602 SUL with the Presso LTD 1000S reel this afternoon for about 20 minutes in a friends pond. I could visibly see beds in 6-in to 1.5 feet of water. I forgot a leader but tied directly to the 2.3 pound varivas ester. The fish didn’t seem to mind the orange line. I caught 12 decent bluegill off the bed before I had to get the kids. The banshee is very sensitive. I could not believe the bend that a 6 to 8-in bluegill put on this rod. It was a blast! I could cast a 0.5g jig and trout magnets a country mile with this setup. The only down side is that it was difficult to pull the fish through the vegetation growing around the bank. This rod is a keeper for sure!
