I've got an outfit I use almost exclusively for carp (7wt, large arbor reel), so if I didn't just put new line on it, I'd probably take a very close look at purchasing this product. I actually put a bonefish specialized line on that rod (seemed to me the fishing styles matched)... only to be told this winter that that line was made for a certain temperature as well as a certain type of presentation, so I'm afraid it's going to be awfully coiled when I pull it out this spring.
