Best thing is if your buddy springs for the expensive setup you can take it if his hands for pennies on the dollar when he gets sick of the canal...

That's the set up he was originally planning on. He went yesterday and looked into getting the 1322 blank wrapped with the low rider guides. I think he wants the Saltiga because it has the long cast spool like the Emblem Pro, but the reel is lighter and more durable.
I bought the Mojo and will put it to the test this season. With the way I treat my equipment, I can't justify a $400+ custom rod.
