Ben, your english is good enough for us fishermen:-) , If you want to throw the largest swimbaits, go with the Dobyns 807 MAG HSB, It's a brute and will allow you to make a " Strong Cast" with a BBZ, or any other big bait. It is 8' rated for 20-50lb, and 1-7 oz baits. Put a good reel ( calcutta 400 series) on this stick and it will do all you ask of it. Glad your gonna get to fish the Southern Calif. lakes, heck there are guys who live here and still have not been able to make the trip. Hope you catch your PB and do it on a Dobyns rod. Hey if you do, go to www.Dobynsrods.com and post a picture and enter it for a chance to win another Dobyns stick. :-)

Good Luck
