It's an old-school build, with 5 cone of flight guides. Those set-ups work well with most reels, and with both mono and braid. Many of the newer "concept" guide lay-outs are really spool-size specific. The gathering guide on this rod is a 50 mm V-framed aluminum oxide by Fuji. I think the guide model was called the BSVOG.

I think a Stradic 8000 weighs in the neighborhood of 20 oz. That reel should balance fairly well. The few times that I fished the rod, I used a Van Staal 200, which weighs about 21 oz.

Mike, I may have a good friend interested in the 1205 if Gman does not take it

iamskippy just sent me a PM saying he'll take it. No one made a commitment in the thread before him, so he has first crack at it. I'm not up on John's rules here as to PM acceptance, but since he said he wants it, and no one else has said definitely, it's his.
