I run 80lb leader (12m of it) and run it in the prop wash (can't get it back any further! I realised the mistake in buying the 8' Staal so I took it back and opted for this one ! ! ! !
Yes I can see why you went for the pink model over the Van Staal (by the way, have you got a black or gold model?)

It would be an interesting competition where everyone bought a super cheap combo and you had a week to see who could land the largest fish on it. No upgrading of line allowed either
Nuthin' like rippin' out tha PE10-12 gear and chuckin' out
massive poppers an' stickbaits at car doors haha.
But as hlokk says it'd be good fun to see who can get the best fish on the shittiest gear.
