Hi Hoohoorjoo,

Thanks so much on info about LT 2500 and I decided to go for Exist 2500XH and it was a very small cute spinning reel.

i was trying to upload more pictures but it failed....anyway the whole spinning reel is just 177.7 grams :) \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

It is an Abu Villain 2.0, great feel, pretty sensitive, but non quality guides (still great so far though), good Fuji reel seat. If the guides go, I will try another brand. Probably have a time finding something to match its action. I like the St. Croix rods, but my price range ($200), the Avid X has micro guides which wouldn't work well with leader knots I assume.

Either way it will be an interesting search one day when my dropshot rod dies and gets buried in the backyard w/ other deceased tackle and pets.
Now you make me wanting +7'ML rod ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ...

Thanks for info.

The TFO I have is nice. 6'9" I think, ML with a deep flex, but still pretty true fast action. Works great for open hook dropshot, spybaits, little jerkbaits, etc. Really nice rod. If I could do it again, they make a 7'3"ML also, used to make a 6'3"Light that would have been a great semi-BFS rod. It isn't the most expensive rod, there are plenty better out there, but with the SV105 it has been a great combo, normally run it with 7-8lb Sunline FC Sniper, but have considered 10-15lb Sufix 832...

The buried in the backyard was a joke. I also say that at work (healthcare, nursing) when a beloved Sharpie marker finally dies. That is always a sad day...
