A 45 mm. or so wire gathering guide, SiC 30 on down and out. You have roughly 3 weeks to get the rod done, and start growing a right index finger callus.
Ain't going to be my primary reel. Conventional stuff is too much lighter, more powerful, and simpler. Weight and line twist as well as uselessly short shock leaders are still major negatives no matter how nice a tool it is. I got it to swim with at one local spot, because I'm fed up with driving there at 2 AM and finding you on the only good rock. A 1321L isn't going to do it.
