which model handles 30# of drag? and what reel do you use for 30#? i have not seen these rods yet. they sounds nice. any pics of 30# of drag on rod? i was trying lift 25# with a 700H calstar and a torium 30, i could not lock the reel drag enough to lift the weight, we did lift it with the 700XH and new tiagra 16 but it was hard to turn handle
the 5'6 600g model will handle 30lbs easy. i believe when they were testing the blanks, most were breaking at 40+lbs. that doesn't mean i would fish it with that much, but the rod should be able to handle it.
A lot of the avet jigging reels will pull 30 locked down as well as the accurates too I believe.
