Blacktail 8541

Thanks for the info.

I have a couple and would compare them very close to the old GLX, which I have a few of. I will pick up a couple of the new GLX rods later in the year to see how they stack up to the old models.

same here

I went ahead and purchased the 2500S. Same size that I have but with the shallow spool. Thanks for the replies.

Not what I asked and it is not a $200 dollar rod. I also am not paying $800 for it.

Unfortunately that is not possible due to cost.

Looking to get a second Stella spinning reel.I have the 2500 FI reel. The second will be used for drop shotting on a Loomis IMX pro 820 dsr. I do not use braid on my spinning gear much, and this set up will see a lot of time on clear lake crappies which I love to fish. I will also use it for some shallow 15 to 20 ft bass DS and ned type work. I have a set up for heavier work. I am trying to decide on either a 1000 FI or a C2000 size. What are the differences. In body size . They hold approximately the same amount of line. Line will be 5lb floro or mono. Thanks
