NIB,

I'll be at the show if I can, but I've been lookin' back over my shoulder and they're gaining on me.

I was able to play around with the blast and the saltiga Z and they are some bad a$$ reels! I was very impressed but the reel seemed VERY heavy.

I had my 4500 on my 1201M at times. It balanced out nice, but I run a somewhat long butt section. I think this helped to balance the rod out a bit. I was speaking to Kadir of Aquaskinz yesterday about the reels, and he had his on an Arra 1205 and liked it. He too runs a long butt. I held a 5000 a few weeks back at the Springfield show. It seemed large to me, but I may just be used to the 4500 now. I used to run a VS 300 and never really thought that was too big. I think you will be fine with the 4500 on any 10' rod. Not sure I would go too much bigger unless the blank was really light.
