Just got the Stradic in the mail today...sweet! Nice and (relatively

) beefy with level line lay. Gonna call up Smooth Drag and get some Carbontex drags for it. Shimano's stats lists the 8000FH as having 25lbs of drag; can I realistically expect to get that, or would 18-22lb be the max sustainable?

Also, would a Hopper 500g 5'8" (HOPS-500FH-58) rod be too heavy with that?
