Good question because I am looking a rod for my Shimano Bait runner. I think the 15 to 40 range would be best. If you want light weight, you have to look at G Loomis or one of the Terez models but they are so expensive. The Shimano Terramar are good rods but I think Shimano has dropped the line. They have also done away with their lifetime warranty as of August 1st so that causes me a little concern. Let me know what you end up with.
