Finally getting around to wrapping the GSB1201L rod. I test casted 30lb braid(Stren) with this set up: 40, 25, 16, 10, 10, 10, 10 10 & 12tip. It seemed great. using a VS 150 with the stripper 28.5" from the spool face. My concern is that if Fireline is used on this set up should I drop 2- 10's for 12's being that the Fireline is much stiffer and there may be a possibilty of line bunching?
