Hi all got a Diawa Tatula 701 MFS . 7' , M , 1/8 - 3/4 oz , 6 -14 lb . It is a good looking rod and the BG 2000 matches it well . I wish it had 1-2 more guides and the handle was mounted facing the reverse way . I have the BG 2000 loaded with sufix 10# braid and 10 # flor leader . The 1/8 - 3/4 oz rating seams too good to be true . I will take it and the MHX 7' , L , 1/16 - 3/8 oz , 4- 10 lb . that I built a few week past out in the KC - 12 kayak after snakhead , largemouth , and white perch tomorrow . Do to my health I will not go far . I will go to Blackwater . Good fishing to all .
