Leif, that's my choice for throwing the big baits- I fish it with a CT400 and 20 pound, works great, blank is really nice and stiff and doesn't flex when tossing the big Castaic Trout or AC Plugs. One time this winter I wasn't prepared and tried to toss the Castaic trout on a flipping stick, first cast that baby loaded up way to much, instant backlash as I went to heave the thing, and there goes a nice 30$ bill soaring towards the stratosphere!! Luckily they float, but I had to retrieve the thing, won't make that mistake again!!
