I'm looking for a rod around 8ft, to pair with a slammer 5500, I want to use it to throw 80-100g colt snipers at bluefin up to 80ish pounds in the beginning of the season from private boat. I expect to see mostly 50# fish but I don't want to get killed if an 80 pounder grabs it. Most importantly I want to be able to throw the light lures into the wind, as far as possible. I've been thinking about a 30-40# setup and I was pretty set on a magic eye 804s but I think I want to go a little heavier, up to 50#. Considering a Rainshadow RTP80MH but I haven't found any feedback on that rod really. Open to suggestions for blanks or rods.
thanks
