I love the 800 XL, it is my go to rod and the one pictured in my avatar, but the tip is just too stiff to lob a chovie

I've been leaving my 800xl at home and using the 196 for chovey fishing, the tip is softer for delivering the smaller baits. Glass is good for the small baits.

I like the Phenix Abyss 807 with my Fathom 12. I have an OC rods Kaiuli 86hf mag that I really like for 20# with my old 525mag.

If 270-8' fucks 196-8' you get 220..

Best chovy stick..
Extra 6inch on tip matters..

My top favorites we have on our boat r calstar 900xlh cut to 8'6", super seeker 270-8', super seeker 196-8'(tosses well but not enough backbone for more than calico fishing), and super seeker 980-8'. Captain has calstar and 196, 2nd captain has 196(he fishes 15# on it), 270-8' and just built 980-8', and I have 196-8' 12#, 270-8' 15#, and 980-8' 20#. All toss great just depends on what ur fishing for mainly. If yellows or tuna go wit 270h-8' not as soft in tip but more backbone or 980-8'
