Hi Vasko,

I love my 79H !  Works well with poppers from 140gm up to the 220gm+.  Works I-Cups with no problems.  Max drag - go with what you are comfortable with - the rod can take a lot.  As with all rods stay clear of high sticking !  For such a powerful rod I don't think it's too hard on the angler either.  Great choice.  Hope you catch a monster.
