There you go! Same here, I just upsize that a bit for light jigs and mono in the cold MN weather.

I have both on rods and both function well. I had a 9' rod made the fugi, titanium and a 8' with the Pac Bay like them both.

To save money would go with Pac Bay the fugi titanium are a bit over kill but if using in salt water a must I am told,pricey but look awesome on the rod.

Sounds your going to have awesome rod!!!

I should keep quiet as I prefer moderate power rods overall for my fishing but the trend is fast or x-fast.
