I agree with Chris, its a damn good rod. I have been throwing it most days after work. I also agree that a VS 150 would be perfect on the rod. I think i will be using a 200 on it, i also tried it with a ZB 27 and that reel in my opinion is just too big to balance on the rod. It sucks because the zb gives more distance (5-10 yards) just feels a bit too big.
I haven't been able to crack 100 yards with it yet, i have been consistently very close. I have piss poor form so i wasn't expecting miracles with the rod.
Its great for rigged sluggos and a variety of bucktails from .75-2.5 oz, its very sensitive. I didnt try anything over 2.75 ounces so i havent maxed it out yet, might give that a try in a bit. It does throw an unweighted redfin nicely, all the water evaporated in it.
Fishing a 10' rod is weird for me. Ive been primarily throwing a 11' for the past 3 years so the 10 seems so dinky. It is nice though having something so light. Next on deck for me is a CTS vapor trail 11'. I fondled one at RISSA and that is another impressive stick. Parabolic with balls at the end.

Excellent eel rod very sensitive as well can feel anything and everything.
