Hope you don't mind. I did some research on this blank.

"Lamiglas XRA 126 1MH rod, Abu 7500C3 reel, 65# Power Pro:

While the All Star/Batson SU 1209 has many fans, this is still my #1 choice for Canal jigging. It can toss the biggest jigs you can buy, up to 6 oz. Unlike many of the Arra blanks that have a faster taper, this one bends almost to the butt when you have a fish on, and lifts a jig off the bottom effortlessly. I haven't hooked up with one yet that I couldn't turn, altho they probably are out there. It can also serve double duty for casting the biggest Hawg Hunter or Guppy pencils. I doubt you could ever break this rod except with the most ham-handed misuse. I've seen Don Willis hook and bring to the bank a small boat that broke loose from its mooring and was drifting downcurrent."

If I spent more time at the Canal, I'd grab this in a NY second. CMS wraps a beautiful rod in colors I generally like and this is a very good deal for anyone who does fish the Canal. I just can not justify another stick that I'll only use occasionally. Anyway, thought I'd post this info in the hopes it will help you sell it. Nice rod... cheap price.
