I paired it with a Daiwa Ballistic LT FW 1000s spooled with 3 lb Varivas Twitch Master. Going after some finicky, light-biting crappie tomorrow, and hopefully I can find some shellcracker/bg to test it out as well. If a school of spotted bass blow up close enough, I'm going to cast right in the middle of them. I'll try to get pictures and will do a separate thread for the rod review.
Yamaga Blanks make a fine rod. The 67 TZ was one of the first rods I ordered from Japan...then came the 65 TZ and then the 83 TZ Long Cast...LOL. Looking forward to reading you review of the Blue Clue Curent III model.
