Thx for 'da poop Ron. It is a nice looking stick and feels good in my hands and for the price I'm buying it for it's a steal. Glad ya mentioned the live eel thing, because when I walk out to Naps, I wanna sling eels and if the situation is right, needlefish and pikies too. I was a little wary because of it being a 2 piece rod, but ya know what? I cant tell, feels like a 1 piece to me, that is until I cast a fat eel and the top half of the rod goes sailing to Fischers Island
(J/K).
Mike, have you noticed any wear on the guides from braid? What braid do U use? Also do ya think it' gonna meet my needs ala eels/needles?
