I just bought a 10' 8-17 med mag certified pro bait caster loaded with a curado bfs/bsf ? with 50 lb green tuff line for noookie bobber fishin.This rod works well for tide water and other nookie bobber fishin.I've only had it for a month but have enjoyed fishin with it.Good luck,

P.S. If your gettin it for steelhead,then I would go with the above mentioned rod.
