Larry,
Can you recommend me a rod for my Calcutta 400D? I know you like the Terez 8' to match this reel but I do quite a bit of travel with my job so is there something similar that you can refer me to but in a 2 pc or even a 3 of for travel? I'm also going to be picking up a 200D this weekend and can you tell me which rod is best suited with that size reel? I will be mainly tossing lures and minnow lures ranging from 1/2 to 2 oz but more commonly 1/2 to 1 1/2 oz. I'm looking to spool Slick 8 20 lb for the 200D and 40lb for the 400D. Also what is the best VBS setting you think for a "dummy proof" backlash and night casting? I do have an intelligent thumb but like every thing else, it tends to fail once in a while lol. Thanks Larry.
