Looking for a rod to put my cardiff 200 on. For use on half day and 3/4 day boats mainly for bass.

i'm actually looking to buy that same reel. Is it new to you or did you just purchase it?? How much did you pay for it??

I've had it for a few months now. Had it on a Penn slammer buy now time to change since I have a little more coin. The slammer is too beefy.

Ive got the 200,and 300.great casting reels. On my 200 i just use my claris flipping stick. It has enough power to pull fish out fast its also great off the jettys for more power. I use 20lb ,8lb dia rated crystal fire line ,to have a crapload of line capcity in case i hook something big. I use a 10 to 15lb mono leader.i use the 200 for shore(jettys or rocks) and the 300 (same rod)for the boats just in case something bigger hits on the boat ,like a stray wsb ,or yellow tail.
