I have a 6-10 (10'6") and a 4-10 (9'6"). The largest Ive ever caught on the 10 6 was 16lb winter steel and had no problems. I got my 9 6 last year and broke it in by catching some monster hook noses, 2 of which were in the 20lb range. Never had one problem with the rod then or since. I love that 4-10 9'6" I played them monster cohos, winter and summer brats, and even tossed tiny rooster tails with for resident bows and cuts. Great rod.
