Hey, Snidley. I'm from T.O. and I go to that BPS at Vaugh Mills, too.

If you put a line less than the rod line rating, you would probably break the line when you cast (using the minimum ...

Sorry that I would be asking questions in my first post but I believe this is the place where I can find answers. I just bought a Corvalus CVL401.
