But that other 1% will break your heart.

Very true, but we've handled good sized eyes on those... my only worry is a big sword at night or blue on the troll..

A Shimano TLD-2 Speed 50LRSA loaded with 80 lb Momoi on a Custum 50-130 lb CMS Rod will be the same price as just one Penn 50 VSW. I think its the best bang for the buck for someone just getting into it, not as pretty as all the gold stuff but it catches none the less.....
