Reel more important than the rod mate, what comes with it? BTW, 12-20lb class will cover the vast majority of your fishing, even Tope... so dont buy an absolute poker :wink:
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D

think it was a commander or commander pro. was going for the 12-20lb range as I have a few broom sticks that would be too stiff
