I ordered a 7' MH version of the Elite Tech Bass casting and it arrived Friday. I haven't been out on the water with it yet, but man does it look and feel nice. I have been using one of the elite tech smallmouth rods on a spinning setup with a patriarch for finesse applications like a shakey head and it has proven to be my favorite rod. I knew when I saw the bass version coming out I had to pick one up so I plan on putting a BB1 pro on this one. It feels as if it is even higher quality than the smallmouth, the reelseat looks really solid and the guides look quality as well.
