Yup. What Coop just said.

If you're targeting bigger kings (30+) in heavier waters, I might tell you to consider the 1265c. This is about the optimal size fish for the 1264 -which was landed on a Rainshadow 1264c. Anything larger and you'd probably wish you had the 1265c. Note the Baston Enterprises, hat. Appropriate hat wear and photo for this conversaion.



Can't go wrong with a well wrapped Rainshadow with quality components, IMO.

Also landed on the same 1264c...and really wished I using a 1265c. This was a mean fish.
