Any imput will be much appreiciated. The arra is a pricey stick and don't want to by it without some imput. I previously owned lighter 9 foot arra and didn't like it. I have the 9 foot regular graphite lamiglas( 1 to 4 oz. # unknown.) right now and like it. Thanks.
My brother has one. If price is no issue, the Arra is a great stick for eeling and throwing plugs from 1-3 oz. comfortably.

I opted for a custom built Batson Rainshadow 1088 by MikeCC. Mike did an unreal job, I love the stick. I have a Calcutta 400 on it and it is a perfect match.

Admittedly I don't use it all the time since I use my VS more often, but every time I take this combo to the surf I always comment on what a great setup it is.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
