Now to compare apples if you were to bump your 170 a bit higher, a great review on the TFO BVK that is a fast rod, light swing weight and affordable rod that rivals Sage, Loomis, Scott @ almost 1/3 the price with a great warranty policy
A dream to cast, able to hit accuracy with reserves for the long bombs, then you'd be styling
