Any thoughts on how it compares... action, quality.. with an All Star 1208? If you bring it here, I'll be glad to look at it if it is a similar rod. Thanks.

A little bit lighter power then the All Star would be my guess.

I have both a All Star and PacBay 1088 and with these the PacBay is lighter in weight and a little less backbone then the All Star.

If you are willing, I live in Charlestown and I'd like to see it if it's still available when you come my way. Your call. If that's possible, I'll PM my tel # and you can call when you're here. Thanks.

rod is much lighter than an allstar 1208- it absolutley smokes 2 oz pencils and works 'em to boot.

Kevin, nice to meet you and best of luck with the rod. The fishing was great Wed through Friday afternoon. Good number of fish on Sat but small. Overall had a really good week,
