New rod and reel - Kings, Salmon, Tailor etc.

I've got one of the 702 skyroad and find it matches up well with a 3000 shimano so the 25xx daiwa should be about right. Tried my 4000 biomaster on it but it was too big.
So far I've stopped 30cm to legal kings on it among other less notable fish.

Cheers bud. What sorta line and knots are you using? Any issues with the micro guides?

25lb leader to pe 1.2 line is about as heavy as I'm comfortable with the guides. Using an fg knot.

Ordered the Skyroad 8-16lb 7' rod just now from Digitaka. I'll try on a few reels that i have at home before i order the Luvias.
