O K guys look back at what all of you said that was the same? I assume everyone is pulling 1/16th It's not a sin to use a 1/8th or a 1/4th. the beauty of the boards is trying new things and tinkering. I had one person ask this week why you had to use 8ft rods? You don't. You can use all 4ft rods if that's what you like.
