Was able to hang a few fish this weekend on a new rod! Allstar 1208. Was very fortunate to locate a new unwrapped blank through Kevin/onedozenraw in RI. Redsoxticket generously picked it up and got it into Saltheart's hands to do the build. Mike has wrapped two other rods for me in the past, and had originally introduced the Allstar line to me. Throwing Timber met up with Mike and brought the rod to the ferry for me on Friday. So four longtime members went out of their way to allow me to now have this hard to find, beautifully wrapped, rod. And I was impressed. After searching through the old threads I have a rod that I can lay into with 2-4 oz. Perfect all around rod that completes my needs. (My other surf rods are a Rainshadow SW1088, and an Allstar 1265) Thank you gentlemen!
