I think it's just as important to have the set up that lets you put the boots on a big fish in current , hopefully.
Or else who cares how far away the fish broke off.
Knife to a gunfight kind of thing.

May fortune favor the foolish....

That's why I use what I use.
Power, speed, distance and can cast for hours with no fatigue.
Me like.

Here I am...

Firsty, O.D. thanks for considering me a friend. I feel the same way sweet cheeks. Awesome advise from all. Typically when you open up a topic like this you will be left even more confused and unsure then when you first started exploring options. Definately some light shed here. Custon one piece arra 1322 with low rider guides coupled with the emblem pro and 50' braid it is. Any suggestions on the size reel that should be married to this stick? Also, what are your thoughts on the new emblem pro vs. old?

Just my opinion, but you may want to go with more than 50' of line if you're planning on casting to the middle of the canal.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Why kill yourself casting to the other side, when you could just go over to the other side to fish... and yes I know that sometimes the fish are breaking on the other side...
