Strength:
Effortless loading, but can toss as much line as could conceiveably even catch a fish.
Weakness:
A bit pricey, but well worth it for a lifetime investment. I was very excited to receive my blanks after casting this rod at the store. (Paid $500 Cdn) I cast at least 10 different rods (Sage. Winston, and other T and T''s) and found that this rod loaded flawlessly at all distances, and had pinpoint accuracy that surpassed the others. It loads at short distances easily, and I was able to punch out 80 feet of line with little effort. This rod does not have the extra-fast action of most of todays rods, which I believe is its finest attribute. You will experience must less casting fatigue, and will enjoy casting much more. A friend of mine had previously been dead set on something with a fast-action so he bought the T and T Horizon(also a nice rod). Once both rods were built, we went fishing and he was amazed by both the delicacy and power this rod had; something missing in his fast action rods. Of my 8 rods, I fish this most often, because of how perfectly it performs. Customer Service Haven''t used it yet. They were very willing to offer technical support when building this rods though Similar Products Used: Gloomis, Sage, Winston, St Croix |
