Just a heads up on the Aquila. They're very tip sensitive and are not very suitable for popper work. I have the 85h+ and it's great, but you can't really work poppers with any decent cup on it effectively. I was told this before I purchased it and thought it'd be ok but it's not. Wish I had gone for an Ultimo. For stickbaits, it's a fantastic rod. Even swims my BF45 like a dream.
