I am sure it will be OK, but you are running almost twice the recomended strength line on it, but plenty do a lot worse than that.

Saw a short doco on rod blanks on discovery the other night. If the rod breaks in splinters it was a good one, if the snap is clean right through, the blank was rubbish.:grin: Not much help I know. :rolleyes:
