Josh,
I know why you didn't like the 1088 I bought off of you. I used it once and decided it needed to be set up differently. The reelseat was 25" from the butt, too high on a 9 footer for me. You also had one less guide, all were one size bigger than on my original 1088. When I finish rewrapping that stick, I'm gonna put it in your hands to try again. As yours was wrapped, it had no balls or casting power.
