Congrats. That's a great rod. I didn't enter because I have one already. She's gonna love that thing, a 10' rod that casts as easily as an 8' one.

I think a Stradic or Spheros 8000 would be a great fit for that reel. They're smooth, they both spool line evenly, and the Spheros can even take a little dunking. Not as bulletproof as a 704, but there's a learning curve with a 704, even if you run mono on it. Nothing frustrates as much as wind knots.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
