I went to gander mountain, and of course all they had was two of the 4 models(25 and 40)..The 40 was way too big and the 25 was too small. The guy at the counter said that pflueger is not making that real anymore, so they would not be getting anymore in. I dont think he knew what he was talking about. Anyhow, still a little confused, but I am leaning towards the 35. I will be using 6# yo-zuri ultrasoft if that helps any. This rod will be used for St.Clair smallies and our famous michigan largemouth ;D(1-4 pounders). Thanks
