That is my favorite line. I have it on all my rods and use the 4lb on my trout rod with TM and wear them out. Juice let me know how you like the Field&Stream rod. I have the Field&Stream TecLite "light" it has a gold finish and couldn't be happier for a trout setup with a Pflueger Trion. I seen at Dicks where they have the new style now.
I had another Tec Spec rod and liked it, I broke it kayaking last year and never replaced it. I am going to give the rod and reel a workout in illinois next next week so I will let you know what I think.
