no expert, only posting this because I don't know how many guys are fishing this setup or building them but thought you might want to hear feedback

Mike, I used 20-16-12-12-12-12-10tip on a 1266 loomis BMNAG's

42"reel to gathering guide then
17 3/4...9....8 1/2...8 1/4....7 1/4....7

I'm sure that this can be improved by someone more knowledgable

I've been throwing this w/ a bailess spheros 14000 and 50 lb power pro for about 100 trips this year and not a hitch, not even a single wind knot which I know causes a lot of headaches for guys and the only plug snapped off was my own fault rushing a cast ...smaller fish are fun because of the sensetivity of the top and lager fish seem to really have their weight distributed down the blank...it's a very light and powerful rod...I'd like to make an 11' this winter...
