The reason I like fiberglass type rods such as uglystic, they can take the constant strain. In my epxperience graphite rods sometimes have the tendancy to snapunder the pressure of a loaded rod especially when hit hard. With that being said I do free line with DD22 and braid on graphite rods. Just make sure your drag is lose.
