I would go with the scorpion bfs.....I actually have had such a good experience with a kast king rod and reel lately and just got the valiant eagle bfs. And a kingdom silver needle rod......i gotta tell ya....im impressed with this kastking stuff. It has a little heavier of a spool but i caught more fish this week than i ever have.......it is worth a try and the sharpest looking combo i have seen......everyone wants one when they see it......i clean my bearings with contact cleaner of course and use a nano oil after every trip and it really really makes a difference with the bfs....i wont have a use for scorpion anymore
