I just picked up a sage bass II rod peacock. It comes with a 390 gr. line. It's only 7' 11" long....very stiff and fast action. Unbelievable how long this thing throws. I would highly recommend this rod. I've fished with it a few times had one pike on a 10" streamer. This rod works great from a boat but has enough back bone to chuck from shore wading with no problem at all...best part is if there is wind, it seems to cast better then rods of 10' or 11'.
