Cape Fear boat rods?

I like em so far having used their heavy standup stuff.

Anyone else have any comments on the hexagonal rods?

my buddy picked one up for his boat eeling rod-loves it. incredibly light with great action-well worth the money according to him-then again he makes $250 an hour so our views may be different...

Is it good, or is it Sofa King good?

I have 3, all spin. Light and medium 7 footers and an 8' medium spin.
I have also fished with 2 casting models, medium and heavy 7' poles. Soft tip and powerful butts. The heavy casting took 12 oz bouncing on the bottom without a grumble, yet is very light in the hand. All are highly recommended.

I love their boat rods, but thanks for the info on the casting.

I'm interested in maybe switching to them at some point on my other rods.

Thumbs up

have used some of there live bait boat rods. soft tip with a stiff but. very very nice action for trolling or drifting live baits. rods would be great on school tuna as well.
