Drag stays 28/38 lb, so what you pay for is the bigger power handle in a long fight
With a seaguide eye pattern, a fast rod action and a classic cork handle, this Abu Garcia Casting Rod is one for the collectors.
One last point worth making about articulated heads is they are somewhat more difficult for a fish to throw, as these lure heads dont provide leverage to help a fish shake it out of its mouth
Drop-shotting may be your best chance at catching that cold water lunker
The bigger spools used to fill reels have around 250 yards of line and cost around $15 to $20 (flouro is more expensive than mono, but same principle to save money buying the larger spools) Thanks for the info Tony
