IM6 is ok and tough but not very sensitive and IM8 is awesomely sensitive but very fragile, one mistake and you need a new rod. I like IM7 graphite as it gives good feel but is not as brittle as IM8.

20-25 pound drag not much use on 10 pound line.
Have a torium spooled with 60p for muscle work.

Yeah that reel is for a heavier setup, running 30lb braid and throwing poppers at GTs and Kingies, not really along the lines of this thread! Haha!Quote:
