    Rod rated to 50lb being used with 80lb braid may end in tears

    I’d say it would be ok as the reel, being a long cast surf reel, probably won’t have enough drag to be able to do any damage.

    More likely to damage the reel on a big fish.

    What’s the drag rating on that Cam?

    15kg .

    Yea I have never broken a rod on a fish....Auto up windows and clumsy gumboots have claimed a few tho. If you break a rod you are high sticking it.

    The 80p is to give a little margin in the current and rocks.

    New microjig/softbait setup today to replace my last carbon nano.
    Same blank as before which I love but with improved grips and guides.

    Love those Nanos. A 3-6kg model holds the very high esteem of being one of my go-to rods.

    Yea my last one was always along for the trip, landed some stonking snapper with it and a few kings one being not too shabby either, alas the grip spacing meant that when in a standard rod holder it wore on the carbon tube and mine broke at that point....This one the grip extends just enough to save it I hope.

    Old vs new.


    You can see the wear here and it collapsed at this point.

    Yep, hate that grip style. Hard to find a soft bait rod with a full grip these days. I wound paracord around the "gap" and put shrink tube on top. Done this with all my rods.

    I imported a new Lamson S2 Litespeed G5, added 100m of fluro braid and a new Scientific Angler Amplitude MPX 6wt line. It is as smooth as silk. I really was amazed today at how powerful it was with such a butter smooth drag. Plus it just looks awesome.
