The rod has a nice light feeling in hand although it was dark before I untubed it. Almost too dark to cast. I will let anyone interested know how it casts tomorrow. It felt good but I could not see the line moving. Anyone ever seen this model before? I hope to try it out this weekend on little steelies. I am afriad the agate tip top is too small for a modern line. I used a silk to test it tonight. |
