I love my ulua. Absolutely my fav jig stick. I have it paired with a Trini 16n with 65lb smooth samurai braid. It took a bit of practice but I'm comfortable just grippin it and rippin it with the braid now. I use a short price of 40lb mono so I don't have to cut back the braid to change jigs. I've used 90j and 690j on the kayak but the ulua is lighter and cast better for me. The slow action jig sticks cast great but I never cared for the loading and waiting feeling of them. A buddy of mine has a 10' Harnell that feels more like a bull whip. Reel section of the rod is pointed at the fish while the top 6' is still pointed straight behind.l old school. Mike
