Favorite State:
Oregon/Nor. Cal

Summary:
Excellent big water/long cast rod for larger streams or winter fishing

Strengths:
Stiff long rod for where/when you're reaching out for BIG fish. Will put an entire 150'windcutter in the air (shooting line) with ease. Got to be careful you don't "hit" someone on the other bank. Overly powerful for fish under 5# unless in heavy water. Big fish or big water ... you couldn't ask for more. HOWEVER, the weight of the rod will tire you out.

Weaknesses:
Weight of rod will tire you out so be in good shape!

Customer Service:
Nothing to compare yet. Hope I never have to find out.

This rod is capable of exterly long castlenght (castlenght is the length of head you can cast without shooting any line) upwards of 80ft of head can be cast off a true double speycast.

Lending itself well to the long cast and mendinbg associated with large rivers ,heavey flow and winter days.
Has enough reserve power to handle the exter long casts need to reach just on more seam.

The rod has a tendecey less responceive during hook up than I am used to.
