Battalions are great rods, not so sure the 8/15 is going to have the backbone for big tog.
I fish the 12/20 and the 15/30 for fluke and they have alot of backbone, but your not going to turn a big tog with them easily.

Gerry I fish the M, black hole and its a nice rod, but after jigging with a 701L it just felt I could really feel the lighter jigs better, but was also wondering if it had the backbone for big tog also.

hearing Joey had to high stick a big one on it has me wondering now, but im still going to build one for light jigs fluking
