| Comments | this is a very specialized rod. I love it for the small overgrown streams that I made it for. Some people hate it - but usually when they try it in a parking lot or casting pond they immediately try to cast it 40 -50 feet IT WAS NOT MADE FOR THAT! This rod was made to cast less than 15 - 20 feet most of the time. The tip is soft - for short casts again - so most guys say it is too tippy. Remember what it was made for. You will need a planing form capable of doing a swelled butt between the 40 and 50 stations. I use a short 6 inch handle and regular reel seat so together they should not be longer than 9 - 10 inches. This is |
