That actually helps with my decision a good bit. I originally planed an getting a rod that I could load with Floro and use for cranks. Then would have one rod with the fireline for jigs and worm rigs. So it looks like I'm back to looking for a new rod and reel. I think I have figured out what I want though so its just a matter of getting to or ordering form Cabela's or bass pro.
Now that you mention that the line needs to be able to absorb some of the impact from a hard strike. I was at Lake Powell last Auguste and I was using a popper to catch bass and I noticed I was missing a lot of strikes that I thought the bass had taken the whole bait. I think that the lack of stretch in the line might have been pulling the hooks right out of their mouths. I guess that's as good a reason to get a new rod and load it with Floro.
Thanks for your help
