Great combo mate, but IMO stick with the 6lb... We've had a few tangles with the 4lb, but no trouble with the 6.

Cheers

excellent choice ! great blank and great bloke to built it !

the UL will fish 4 or 6 comfortable i tend to use 4 in close and medium and for distance or flats work jump to 6 as the 6 will handle the extra stress put on the line. using 4 in this situation, distance and with more affect buy the wind can give you a bad case of the 'Knot Nasties" errrrrr

I'd have to say Ross is a fine rod builder he does a fantastic job, he would be my choice of rod maker or Perrie, if i couldn't build them my self... Custom rods are and always will be my choice... Nice rod Gippy i have Gusa's too fantastic rods..
