Hi,
I was testing my light lure rod yesterday (TBL80-20) and I ended with throwing gamma's 140. They reached distances of around 50m with PE5 GT Max on a SOM 16000 spool and 5m 100lbs leader. I know this is a -100 gram rod, but it was just comfortable and I didn't feel any limitations.
Question: Is this like playing with fire? I love my TBL80-20 and don't want to abuse it. Or is the recommended lure weight relative and very specific for JDM rods and their action.
I want to use this rod for fishing on BFT (up to 60lbs) in Spain and if above is not damaging the rod, then I have the perfect rod for this purpose with a lure range from 40 up to 140 grams.
I like to hear your opinion and sorry about my english.
Thanks in advance.
