I have the 5'8" teamed with a avet LX 6.1 and feel it is a great setup.
Last season I beat up a 80-90 tuna in less then 15 minute.
I hope to repeat this a few more times this season.
I use mine with a Torium 30. Great combo, was jigging with it today. Haven't caught a fish on it yet but hope to soon because I want to see if these things fight a fish like I hear.
