Just my 2¢...
I have the 113h and i spooled it with saltwater fusion 80# test.. 25#dia before that i was using tuffline xp and all i can say is that if you get tangled with mono on a charter your going to piss off the other people you tangled cause if your tangle is nasty everyone is out of fishing for atleast 15 min's unless a mate gets to the tangle first and he starts cutting.... not kewl if your down some 150+ feet... the fusion line has a coating that makes untangling a little easier and it has 0 stretch.. i've landed cod, stripers, and other monster fish well over 40#'s with no problems and it's much less expensive then powerpro/tuffline..

I had this rod made over at CMS just so it's stiff enought to jig upto 30oz and sensitive so i can feel scup/seabass tag the bait..
i think i spent at the time when they were at the darthmouth location about 140 or so on the rod... if you search hard enought you could get a 113h for around 80 or so bucks new and about 40-50 used.. and enough line for about 20 bucks or so... i went custom cause with the tuffline at first i snapped the tip on 2 slammers from kmart...(of course i got my money back)..

if you want a good rod check out the tsunami line but TEST your rod before you buy... they are production rods with in my opion NO quality control.. check for loose eye's and loose reel seats.. i have the king fish rod with a calcutta 700s i use for bass and hands down it's the best freaking rod i bought for under 50 bucks.. it's strong enough to tango with the Big Bass from Block Island all day long..

you get what you pay for but sometimes you get very lucky...
