You're feeling the vibrations because you're not used to a rod with a parabolic taper or "action". Your rod flexes past the halfway point on a cast and the vibrations get transmitted to your hands. You're going to feel that on most, if not all, Lamiglas surf blanks. Even on something as heavy as a 126 1MH Ron Arra blank.

If it bothers you, you should look into other brands. You can get a custom Rainshadow for around $275 from CMS--probably less. I would probably go with an SU 1208 for tossing eels in rocky areas--the SW 1208 doesn't have the same power.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
