You guys should look uo Hammer Rods, I got rid of all my duckett's and went to these. The only problem I ever had with Duckett's is I broke 2 during hook set, got one of those fish in, the second time it cost me a major tournament victory. Been fishing Hammer for three years and have yet to break one, if I did they replace them for a small fee, Duckett did nothing when I broke either rod. Just my .02 cents
