I had the GP 7/8 10' rod. Reason I sold it was that I do not need now, being a Snowbee field staff now/
It was a great rod, I could fish light tippets on it for steelhead, which was my general purpose for the rod. Handled big flies, and indicator fishing really well. I think I paid like $40 bucks for it went it went on sale or something in that nature. I definatley got the moneys worth as I have landed bass, carp, pike, steelies on it.
Really worked it hard and it kept going. If you like 2 peice rods then for the price you cannot go wrong.
The line I enjoyed most on it was the Airflo Ridge. It matched that rod really nice and I tried about 6 different line on her.
