Location: Antioch, IL | The retrieve mostly is rod and reel. The figure eight is mostly human arms and back. Do what I did after figure eights kicked my butt last year. I hit the gym. |

| I was concerned about the slingblade being too light for 13s on figure 8s too but haven't had any problems with it and my hookup percentage on the 8 has been great with big blades and this rod.
God himself could not have designed a better blank. |

Location: Contrarian Island | the sling blade is too soft in the tip for big saltwater reels imo and many others...it is a great rod for slow rolling/ medium speed reels and night fishing them ...but for burning you are simply fighting the tip and when you go into the 8 you are once again fighting the tip....there are way better choices for burning big blades...i have a 9' Sling blade and I only use it at night and when speed is not required.
real speed, not avg speed stuff. |
