## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 9' medium heavy?**
A: It says medium heavy in the description

**Q: Braid line rating?**
A: The line rating for the 8 foot is 12 to 20 pounds, 10 foot is 15 to 30 pounds, the 12 foot is 20 to 40 pounds.  With braided line, because of the smaller diameter, I can throw much heavier line.

**Q: Woukd a penn fierce 4000 match well w/ this rod for socal surf fishing?**
A: Depends on what type of fish you are going for if you are going for big game fish like striped bass and Bluefish I recommend the Penn fierce 6000 and better

**Q: How many eyes on this rod?**
A: 6 total. 1 on the bottom half and five on the top.
