    You reckon 6-10kg is a big gap difference. I have an 8-30kg Texalium!

    66, Ive got a penn slammer to go on it...

    ok so 10kg=22ib line... whats the drama if I spool it with 30 or 40lb line will the rod break before the line??

    I'd have called it for the drag setting if that were the case.

    I call it for line weight not drag rating. Check out nitro dominator extreme rods, I turned a lot of the swamp donkeys with that rod. you've seen the pics, up to 20kg. the rods are rated 6-8kg, I loaded it with 5olb braid but that was because I wanted the abrasion resistance while fishing in heavy cover.

    Just on new rods, is there anything you can coat cork grips with? i was going to go with the clear lacquer but is that defeating the purpose...just want to keep em nice and clean..
