Got a modified(with a chainsaw, perhaps?) Arra XRA1205(??) from backbeach and put a Calcutta 400BSV 50# Power Pro 50# Fluoro

Had no problem getting the 35 in my avatar out of the ditch with it. I really like the BSV. Smooth casting, nice drag and power handle. The rod is a total meat stick. I'll have to ask him what he was actually thinking when he cut it to its current specifications. :^)

I made another xra 1205 conventional this fall but haven't caught anything really big with it yet. It throws a mile with the BSV on it. Can't wait to work it out next May.
