You really can't tell a hell of a lot about how ballsy a rod is when the guy's holding it up straight.

The reel looks to be a Penn Slammer 560 in the pictures I saw. You can get plenty of 50# braid on one of them. Tony Stetzko used a Penn 650, which isn't much bigger, for his 73. And he wasn't fishing 50# test line, either. McReynolds used a Penn 710 which is about the same size as a 560 Slammer.

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