I started off with the Zenon 1000 on it, 4# mono. Fished a lot of 1.5 and 2.5g JDM Shimano spoons. Rod feels great and performs very well even down to 1g. I just never loved the Zenon. In a moment of weakness I added an Airity 1000 ST SF to the cart when I was refilling on spoons. Just spooled it up, hope to get it out this weekend. Seems like the perfect balance on the rod and it’s sooooo smooth.

A little off topic, this is the first time I’ve fished spoons. They’re awesome, and about the cheapest lures I’ve found which is another benefit. They may fare even better on a bfs set up where line twist is a non issue, so far they haven’t been bad on the spinning gear.
