Hatteras Jack Breakaway Competition Rods and modified reels...

Hey, great news Mr Redmond. Lots of fatherhood going around these days. Best wishes to you and the mom.

The guy who gives All-Star the specs for Breakaway rods and the blanks they are built on is Nick Meyer, a South African transplanted to Texas. All Breakaway rods are built on All-Star blanks, but not all All-Star blanks are built to Breakaway's specs. The Breakaway-spec blanks are bulit with one S-glass layer of fabric in the blank for a little added hoop strength, according to Nick. I have the 1208 blank, it casts as well as my 11' Arra and is a little easier to wield in some of the tighter spots along the Ditch. Brad just bought the blank from Hatteras Jack at the show, too. He didn't know I owned one when he bought it.
