I bought 2 8' ,1-3 oz, Tica rods while on vacation, one with a Penn captiva, the other one for my brother in law who was more a freshwater guy than a saltwater one (now he's addicted ;-)
No reel because I didn't know wether he'd go conventional or spinning...

(Did that coz I was afraid to beak my light stuff on bluuuuues)

I have no problem with my Tica/captiva outfit so far, though it's a bit stiff for light lures. Good for heavy lures, fall fishing in France !!!

But what I was going to mention is that when I went back home and decided which one I would offer to my bro, I was surprised to see that these tho same rods WERE NOT SIMILAR !!!!

Same blank obviously, but different rings, ring sizes, different ring placement, different butt, etc...
Maybe the dealers could tell us more about that ????

And thanks Mike for the deal !!! Even if I'm not sure you remember me !
