I use 10/2 braid on some of my spinning rods but still use Viscious panfish 8 or 10 lb on my Huckabee rods with flippin switch baitcasters. I really like the Huckabees but just prefer the feel of the Viscious co-polymer on them. I used Silver Thread for years but prefer the yellow color. I have two of the older Pulling rods and one of the Pro Series (on the way.) One of my Pulling rods had a tip broken off about three inches back. I was going to order another tip but repaired it and now like it better than the other. They are very good rods!

When I get hung with braid I have a cut off broom handle that I wrap the line around 3-4 times and pull. You would be surprised how 10/2 will straighten out a jig. Guess I just don't have the rubber band touch.
