Edge Black Widow 705. Have one and nothing else compares.

How's the details on that rod? Handle?

Heck if I know. Based on looks and such, I'd 

maybe opt for a St. Croix Legend Elite or maybe

a JDM rod.

It's just beautifully simple. There's no real bling or anything, but the build quality rivals my high end customs. It's just a fishing machine. It's the most sensitive rod in my stable, but the thing I love most is the balance. I've had a Steez, CI4+, Tatula, Curado, etc. and they all balance right under the nose of the reel. The handle is a beautiful woven carbon. It's smooth and can get a bit hot in the sun, but it doesn't slip at all when wet and it's easy to keep clean.

Sweet! Thanks for the user feedback, been contemplating this for awhile, handle looks wicked cool.

Of the rods I own it would be the G. Loomis GLX MBR852C or BCR893.

I use a cork handle Shimano Crucial CRCX610MH.  If I needed anything more I'd like a custom built on a St. Croix blank.

I have three rods that I use for jigs:  G.Loomis NRX 854C, G.Looomis GLX MBR844C, and a Powell Timax 734 HCF.  All are excellent, but I give a slight edge to the Timax.

How  do the NRX854c and the GLX MBR844c compare with each other?

GLX 854C is what I am using for 3/8-1/2 oz.

I use St. Croix SCV's now but I would love to try a NRX.

Hopefully you will get the chance after the Holidays.
