Marty,
Glad that you did find a reel to match up with your new rod and as I said you will feel the fish breath on your line. Now about the 30# line, you might want to put 10 or 12 on that reel remember your not trolling with that rod.

Glad you liked the rod and thanks for coming up and seeing my “Man Cave” and it did come out nice but I did not know your initials were WTF…
