It's hard to make that claim until you've had a 50 lb yellow proving this statement wrong. Dodos and FOOTBALL tunas are nothing compared to a very pissed off yellow. Until the day one of those sticks pulls up a 50 lb yellow I will stick with Seeker Rods and conventional reels.

@Iebadboy. Try using a Super Seeker 990. It is a lightweight 9' rod. It can handle 45s and a nice big mackeral. Pair that with a Daiwa Seagate 40 and you can't go wrong.
