6 lb diameter power pro but I push with 3 oz weights . Keep drag loose and haven't broke a tip yet. I have a couple eagle claw starfires that I run mono on because they are stiff and the braid has no stretch and I was missing alot of fish, you would see your tip bounce but no fish, went to mono on those poles and solved that problem. Lost less than 1/2 dozen cranks last year and trolled a several miles.
