Primarily I use the 842 for lighter weighted soft plastics: Rage Menace, Structure Bug, swim jigs, paddle tails and Jackhammer. Mine is saddled with a Conquest 100 and #15 Tatsu. Casting distance is exceptional.

GLX MBR 842C might be my favorite rod.

But you are getting a surprise tomorrow or Friday that may turn things around.

That is a beauty!

Well, A-J is the MAN, but I personally get more bites on lighter line. I prefer #4 Tatsu, but on the Tennessee River the rocks are handled a little better with #6. So, it's a mix, but I never go bigger with spinning tackle. For my baitcasting presentations it's #11 Armilo for treble hooks, #15 Tatsu for everything else.

You would need a hydraulic press to damage an Ugly Stick!

I have never had an issue either.

I think so.

I agree, but a few years ago I received a 23 year old bottle of Pappy Van Winkle.

Tatsu #4

Doesn't seem logical to me, but there is nothing wrong with using spinning tackle for everything.

Good luck!

Used fishing line? Not me, not even for free.

Okay...
