cant go past a slammer ....my 6/10 kg is loaded with 50 pound braid...8/15 kg is loaded with 80 pound ....had both locked up and busted the line and not even close to busting the rod ...tried a couple of heavier rods in the 30 kg range but didnt like the action for live baiting i would rather use the lighter rod and break one every now and then....
Dont coat your cork ...just keep it clean ...
