I understand "Cone of flight" being critical with mono.. I was hoping braid, not having any memory wouldn't be as critical .. This rod is well built and seems hardly fished .. not a scratch . Its useless to me set up for mono ..I only know 2 people in the whole world still plugging mono . Anyone want to trade an Allstar 1208 blank for this .. Pics are compared spacing to a lami triflex (a 10 footer braid friendly ) .. pics compare 1st,,2nd guide,,pic of wrap ..
