I've not fished the Wei World, but I have done a bunch of research on it as I was after one for a long time.... to me they areone of the sexiest looking rods I've seen.. I think its the combination of the split rear grip and the rods lightness....
I think these rods will handle the 10K and 20K and PE 5 - 8 with no problem whatsoever... its what they are designed for I believe.... And despite these rods lightness, they are built to handle incredible pressure....
Check out John Flores here pushing his on a 100lb plus AJ off North Carolina.
I think the beauty of these rods is that one can fish an 8000 comfortably and right up to the 20 000 too..... and handle anything from 5 to 8 PE.... much like the Smiths...
I still can't getover how light they can make these rods and how tough and strong they are....
I still see a Wei World 48XXH in my future at some point...
Cause if it can handle fish like these, I'm pretty sure it can handle anything I'm gonna encounter....
