I get exactly wat u mean. I have another 7' med/heavy thats pretty good for topwater. I think i will keep using that for frogs and wat not. But wat i really want out of it is a flipping stick. 7' i think is good for me for now. I think im goin to try braid, and see how i like it. (trusting u on this one ):P ( i think one of the most important things to have in california is a flippin stick, so i need one really bad. Thanks for all the imput Woodsac, but i would also appreciate of wat everyone else thinks on lines. Wat pound braid? (will be fishing lots of Spring Lake and such cover) Also, wat are some good brands for the price?
