I'll tell you something else: I caught just as many fat shell-daddys today on my Cadence 6'3" CS7 LXF as I did on the Tict JDM, and it performed admirably (don't like their reels, though). I could have caught these fish on 12 lb test and a Zebco 33, but I LIKE DOING IT THIS WAY. That is enough; life is short - maximize fun.
