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

What’s the drag rating on that Cam?

The 80p is to give a little margin in the current and rocks.
Santa read my mind and bought me a couple new Tacky fly boxes. Good one Santa[emoji106]

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.Quote:

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.
