snook blank

not trying to be wise or anything but 65lb braid sounds like way overkill.A 40lb snook is quite an accomplishment and quite rare, I must assume he is fishing on the East Coast not the West for sure where the average size is around 15lbs.
Most rods in my area would be something like a GUSA SW70M or 70MH, even the B70M,once you get beyond that casting light baits and most snook are caught on sardines, threadfin or even white bait becomes quite difficult.
Just my thoughts on the matter
