I might not be the longest caster on the beach or Canal, but thats too much like giving up for me...no respect for the art of the sport at all there...some people are absolutely shameless....
I would never spend $1200 on something like that although I would on a VS and a couple of rods to go with it. But you gotta admit it would be kinda a kick to have that thing at a big beach get together. Just not with my $. Crazy
