Super User Redlinerobert Posted October 16, 2007 Super User Posted October 16, 2007 Oh man this thing is an absolute work of art. Now I know why the couple of guys that I have spoken too that have this rod have all said the same thing. "You will have to pry this rod from my dead hands". Add me to the list. Considering the power, I can not get over how light weight this rod is. The level of finish is second to none. Honestly, it is almost too pretty to use. Almost. I can't wait to get this rod out on the water. The rod is two piece, similar to my 8ft Steez in that the joint is right at the base of the foregrip. The foam handles are extremely dense, more so than the Steez foam from the feel. Not sure if I will keep this 300 TE on it, bu for the time being it will have to do. Quote
W1-10 Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 neat. Maybe you've covered this already, if so I missed it. Maybe you want to keep it to yourself, if so that's cool too. What is it that you do? You're pulling a new boat with a hummer and you drop an insane amount of cash on fishing stuff. Silver spoons? executive for Smith,Smith,& Smith? Quote

W1-10 Posted October 17, 2007 Posted October 17, 2007 $650! My monthly mortgage is just short of a grand. How does one go about starting a finance company? That's a good looking rod, it looks camo, probably not an accident hence the 'combat'. Quote
