Currently have a Spro 65 rigged up on my Falcon Cara (2021) Amistad. I also have the 7’6” Expert SoCal which is a heavy/mod fast.  I use pline x-braid in either 50 or 65lb.

 

I’ve had success with the Amistad but had a few fish that I lost from too quick of a set. Was thinking the SoCal might offer a little more forgiveness and that little extra delay due to the mod. fast tip….

 

Thoughts?

Give it a shot.  You have the gear, now it's time for some experimenting.  It seems maybe the Amistad is new?  Have you frogged with the SoCal in the past?  If so, maybe the faster tip is just throwing your timing off until you get used to it or maybe the SoCal is just better suited to your style.  I have one main frog rod but use a different one as back up or for throwing smaller frogs when the situation calls for it.  Different actions and speeds.  I know I have to adjust my hookset when using the back up
