i fish a vs 150 on an 8' st. croix legend rod.rod weight 7.4 oz,vs 150 reel about 12.4 oz.fish from the surf or standing chest deep waters in rivers.never a problem and even though i mainly catch schoolie i get luckly every now and then and get bigger fish.bailed 150 weight is like 22 oz and would be a boat reel pretty much.the vs150 i use has a line cap of 400 yds 0f 15.i use 20 or 30 suffix 832 on mine and if i get spooled it will have to be a tuna.all that being said if your gonna be throwing eels,big plugs,fishing breachways the a 10 ft vs 250 would be my choice.line cap is 490/50 braid.it all comes down how your gonna fish it.keep in mind i'm an older guy so i only fish lite now,younger days fished heavy.
