I think you’ll love that rod . It’s not as noodlely as the ultralight 6’6” . And only slightly heavier .Quote:

I would probably get the BPS Carbonlite 2.0 in a 2000 size, or maybe the 1500 size. That is a Daiwa reel in disguise, and the 2000 is the same size as the Daiwa 2500. I’m not sure what size the 1500 would equate to. The Carbonlite has a shallower spool than the standard Daiwa reels so even a larger one holds less line which would be good for using something smaller like 4 pound line I think.Quote:

Rooster, that’s a good plan. I’ve done that a few times and not regretted it. Hope you find what you’re after.
