Goose...
I know from your PM's a while back your old school on toggin, but I cant get used to graphite for boat blackfishing.. always have and will until the stop making it use a 6'6" 20-40lb Penn Slammer... stiff enough to set the hook, and when you actually set in 100ft of water the tip stays up relativly high.. I lose very few fish to the bottom once the hook is set... it's all about the first 5 cranks of the handles with these beauties...

Fishdog; stoped selling 5+ yrs ago, but yeah thats about right... and I didnt realize 14+ was a medium... the old man has a 17.5,,, shooting for that as a career mark...
