The story about your daughter gave me a big smile Chris. It is a pretty rod do to the opal effect of that holographic thread. The funny thing is , she could fish eels and land Moby #^&#^&#^&#^& with it too!.
So I'm all warm am fuzzy about Chris's daughter and then Slip says his son loves his too!! Very gratifying!
Glad to see those rods going to kids. All I can say is ...I wish I had a rod like that when I was a kid!
Slip , the Loomis you won in the tourney is a 1087. Its rated 2-5. It will really zing 4 OZ like you need. I would fish it with a BG7000CL filled with 50 LB Spectron. The light rod is perfect at 1 OZ. I would rate it 1/2 to 2. Its built to use a very small reel.
Thanks everyone for the compliments on Smokey's rod. It is beautiful but I hope everyone also noticed what a lethal weapon it is too. It was an All Star 1265/2. Can you say eeeeel !
