Hello all,
interested in any feedback about these rods and owner experiences. I have an 11' O/H model and ......I just havent been wowed like I expected. Thank god I only paid $200 when MO had a closeout on them - if I had paid full price I would have had a heart attack by now. In fairness, I havent done any HSS for ages and like all of us, not as young as I was when I was doing it a lot. I must do a side by side with my trusty FSU4120 to see distance etc, however it seems really hard to get it to work. Been trying 85g Raiders and the distance seems ok (will measure soon) but a LOT of effort.

Just read some of Childers comments in the post on land based jew spinning rods on them....sort of summed up how I feel. Best lesson for me is never buy a rod again without bending it first. Also hard as it is only the 3rd rod I have ever purchased built up...have built about 40 others.

cheers, Mike
