mathematically 140yds w/ the Emcast 50lb braid. The Zee Bass w/30 Fireline put the 4oz Ava jig about 20 wraps to the backing. Owner says thought he spooled 200yds. I said maybe but more like 150yds. For his curiousity he's going to measure the line on the reel. He was very anxious if the rod turned out like all the hipe it received.I liked the way it worked a 3.5oz pencil popper. Very easily move the plug w/o a lot of arm movement. working a pencil with 100 + yds between you is no small task with a whippy blank. This blank offered crispness in lure movement complimented from the braid. The rod felt lightweight and balanced even though I had to double wrap the butt and fore because of the smallness in the butt thickness. I figure the double wrap w/ X wrap added approx. 6 oz. Casting for over an hour with various plugs from 1oz to 5 oz. was doable w/o fatigue. The rod complete weighs in at 21.5oz.
