Hey mate, I have the Seabass 96ml, as well as a few other rods I use for flicking metals, and plastics off the beach (samaki, shimano travel, daiwa, wilson). I have the seabass married up to a freams 3000 reel (20lb sunline), and it is a lovely balance, and light. I can cast it all day. I don't know how it would be with a 4000 reel though; I would probably get along to a shop to check the balance. I know I could probably use a 2500 comfortably, and without dramas. I just like having 300yards of braid in case of a prized Mulloway swallows the grub. Would I buy another seabass, yes (I would probably look at the new lateo, but thats me).
