What about it being a "live bait rod" makes you nervous?

The range is amazing on this rod. It will launch an un-weighted 7" red fin just as far as any other rod, and I have layed into pencil poppers that are just over 4 ounces with it. Even my 1201M felt stressed when fully loaded up on that pencil, but the MH handled it fine. This rod has a great balance of power, weight, and range. If I could only fish one rod in the surf, this would be it. I never thought I would say that about a 9' rod...

Dave, if I can get my MH to you before the show, you can borrow it to show guys if you want to.
