Got an Abu Surfline this arvo. Good price $175. Strapped the Abu 700 to it in the high reelseat. Casts like a dream with a 5oz. a well balanced rod and a LOT lighter than my Purglas. Now the next question is, what is the best knot for main line to shock leader. I use a combination of the slim beuty and a uni knot, a double uni is just to bulky. main line is 8kg sufix and leader is 20kg blackmagic line. Had the leader knot fail on me twice during the 90mile comp
