Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 20, 2010 Super User Posted November 20, 2010 I've been eyeballing this rod for some time now. Years in fact. However I never could bring myself to pay 4 figures for it. I understand the rod will ship Monday. I hope to have it by Wednesday. Will be more than likely paired with this reel. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted November 20, 2010 Super User Posted November 20, 2010 Well what rod is it? Stop being so secretive. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted November 20, 2010 Super User Posted November 20, 2010 Well what rod is it? Stop being so secretive. There's one thing he can't hide. Money. ;D Quote

I figured you would go with a Pagani P300. Plat has them at 20% off. Quote

Super User Gone_Phishin Posted November 21, 2010 Super User Posted November 21, 2010 Jebus. I should have looked closer. I always assumed they were finesse reels. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 24, 2010 Author Super User Posted November 24, 2010 I should have the rod tomorrow. Wont be able to use it for months. Oh well. Will give me time to find a reel that is possibly better matched. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 28, 2010 Author Super User Posted November 28, 2010 Fed Ex just delivered it. Headed out for a bit, haven't opened it yet... pictures tomorrow! Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted November 28, 2010 Super User Posted November 28, 2010 ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted November 28, 2010 Author Super User Posted November 28, 2010 I can't stop ogling this rod. It's beautiful. It'll get a good workout this spring. Here's some pictures I took. Rod comes with its own flannel shirt. An idea of what's inside. My first split bamboo rod. Megabass Rossa Pregunta. Detail work is awesome. Tail end. Handle work is impressive. The ferrule fits nicely. Again awesome detail. I think the yellow Pixzilla looks great against the bamboo. The cork grips tie it all together. The classic round reel looks at home here as well. Thanks for looking. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted November 28, 2010 Super User Posted November 28, 2010 Wow. That thing is freakin beautiful. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted November 29, 2010 Super User Posted November 29, 2010 that is the sweetest rod I have ever seen! Not a chance in hell I would use that thing, I have freakin lures I paid $25 for and don't use, never mind that piece of art. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 29, 2010 Super User Posted November 29, 2010 My first rod was a split bamboo casting rod. It eventually broke. It had a Zebco 33 on it, which was a huge upgrade from the Flooger knuckle-buster that was originally on it. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted November 29, 2010 Super User Posted November 29, 2010 That is an incredible looking rod. Looks like Christmas came early for you. Congrats on your latest acquisition. 8-) Quote
Super User Raul Posted November 29, 2010 Super User Posted November 29, 2010 F me running ! what a combo ! ( I 'll be danged, where 's the friggin ' drool icon ? > ) Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted December 1, 2010 Author Super User Posted December 1, 2010 F me running ! what a combo ! ( I 'll be danged, where 's the friggin ' drool icon ? > ) Raul, You need one of these rods...the place I bought it from has atleast one more. Quote
dave Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I don't think I could have any interest in a combo like that. Now, all that liquor in the back ground... Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted December 1, 2010 Super User Posted December 1, 2010 A Conquest 50(1) would look pretty darn good on there as well. Quote
Super User Raul Posted December 1, 2010 Super User Posted December 1, 2010 Raul,You need one of these rods...the place I bought it from has atleast one more. Hmmm, not right now, I 'm after a PX68 and a Megabass Zonda. Quote
