Should have loaded up while I had the chance--$115, best bang for the buck ever

I folded the tip on mine over almost 90 degrees on a roof eave, and it didn't snap. That was a couple hundred fish ago and it's still going strong.

Wait'll you hang a nice fish on it

Don't be fooled by the light tip---that rod has a lot of lifting power in the butt
