Smith Rods - Which One?
Ben Furness:
I would say the El Toro 150 running PE8 on your reel would knock over pretty much any GT on the planet if the situation is right.
Casts like a dream works stickbaits to about 200g and poppers to about 180g. Perfectly in your price range and is about as good an "Allrounder" as you will find anywhere.
Luke might even have a few in stock?

You all talk about fishing lighter, what PE do you typically use?

PE8 as standard, occasionally PE10 and in the right places, sometimes PE6.

Ok Thanks Mark - how about the running PE10 on a PE8 Rod?
Mark Harris:
Like everything Ben it will depend on the rod. If the rod is genuine PE8 like say a Ripple Fisher 82, then running it with PE10 will be OK, but it is not ideal.
It it is a more of PE6-8 rod, then I would hesitate more, but the fact remains that you will still be able to fish with it.
Ben Rivers:
A friend of mine is thinking of using 130lb on a GT Special, which is rated PE 3-8. Wat are your thoughts on that?
Im selling my GT Special to get the KD :)
