For this check out the veracity it is a step up from the veritas. Have a 6-9 MH/F light, sensitive and stout for good hooksets. I throw mainly 3/16 to 3/8 t-rigs. But go as low as 1/8 oz and big as 1/2 oz casting. Pitching 3/4 oz no problem. Talk to Ron at valley sports for the reel, and either of the rods. He can hook it up on a combo dealy.
