i dont think that would b a good combo because the 130 is a powerful rod and the 7ht isnt such a powerfull reel.
i would reccomend the mag xtra 8) :shock:

hows it goin mate cheers for the reply i was thinking it was a powerful rod alright and i think for that reason i would be better off going for a small light and fast reel like the new 7ht or a rocket if i could get one.

Give me a pm. I could meet up with you in Killiney maybe. I have the older models of the 7HT plus mag elites. You could try a few casts. I would be interested in seeing the performance on the 130m myself.
