I have a Cabo 50 and 60 that I use on my Avid. Either reel would be great and I have been very happy with these reels and have used both braid and mono with no problems. I think you would find the 40 to small for a 10' rod though. I looked into using a 40 on a 9' rod I have and I found the reel just a bit too small. There is a big size difference in reel size when you move from the 40 to the 50. The weight of these reels hasn't been an issue for me.
