AKKings...the rod I'm having built is a longer version of the rod I'm using now. I won't use anymore than 3oz. of lead,if I can't get to the bottom using 3oz. and backing down the tide's runnin' to fast,and I'm outta' there.My brother has the same rod I'm having built and it fishes 3oz. real nice. I run strictly 10lb mainline on my rods, so the smaller diameter helps in the lead dept.

Thanks for your input though. smile If for some reason it doesn't perform the way I want,that's reason to buy another rod. laugh
