    I have 10 of them and use them all the time for long lineing and trolling. Eight 10' rods that I use all the time and two 11' rods for jigging. They are very durable. I have only broken one and that is becasue I step on it so hard I broke the shaft in half long ways! They are heavier than BnM poles but you pay more for the BnM also. I like that I bought 8 rods for $160 out the door and I can get a replacement anytime I need at the nearest Academy. I like the action on them while trolling 2 1/8 jigs in tandem on each rod. Only a slight bow to water and tip reacts well to see the strike and set the hook. I also use Synergy reels from Academy as well. Good reels. I leave them outside in the elements all the time and they never get damaged or hurt from the sun and rain.

    Kickingbvack, you have a sweet setup on your boat. Where do you fish most?
    Calling FISHING a hobby is like calling BRAIN SURGERY a JOB.
