Duck, I went round & round with the 1025 or 1024 about 3 yrs. ago. Got the IMX 1025C use it for hac. & native steelie's/ silvers up to 15 lbs. Anything over 20 lbs. and this rod feels overmatched! Biggest s-head on it 17 lb. buck, 5-6 kings 20-25 lbs. If I could do over whould get the 1024 as it's 6" longer and has more backbone for bigger fish.
