I was just oogling that Arx reel a few days back. After I backed over the reel for my 14' 9wt, I am in the market for another big dog.

The Litespeed 4 I have would be just a tad light to balance the 13.5 footer I think, but the Arx 4.5 which is just a bit bigger and 2oz heavier might just be an ideal fit for that rig.
