just to ride on this topic,
say i had to choose one rod to bring for shallow terrain, choices being kll ep and the tbl 80/40, which would you choose? my impression of the rods is that the TBL has more stick down low than the EP. Reason im bringing this up is on the last trip, we basically got killed in the shallow game, and therefore we need to find a rod that enables me to be able to hang on and the boat back the fish out of the reef. I am not a heavy guy, just under 70kgs and therefore something like a broomstick mh79 would be too much rod for me to handle.
