    Default 12 foot rods


    ARE not my speed , but when you LS with your bud , you kinda need to do it ....
    at least it was nice 12 foot rod .....
    handled quite well actually , wasn't near as bad as my mind was saying it would be before I picked it up .....
    still don't like it much , but it was a nice tool for the situation at hand ....
    AND STILL ain't buying one anytime soon is my native american name btw .....
    it was a somebody er another version of a dobyns line up ....
    not sure about ALL the other ones out there but to be sure of this ...
    it was much better than 3 of the other big name fancy long rods I have used before on his boat ....
    sensitivity and back bone and light as a feather are nice traits on a 12 footer .....
    just saying

    Got me curious enough to go look.
    At least they have free shipping

    Did get me to thinking, at least you’d probably only need one. I’m used to needing 6-8 or more for a particular technique. Even with mediocre mid price stuff like I’m used to, X8 it adds up to a lotta $

    Also thought, boy if I had one of those and broke it in the car door, I’d hope it was in my Maybach’s door

    You know, I just went and looked at their warranty. If I was a dedicated single poler I’d have to put hands on one of these. But I’m not………
    Yet anyway lol

    I do like high-end equipment though. I just never buy high-end equipment.

    Yeah, I will push my boundaries sometimes if I know I’m REALLY gonna use something a lot, and can see the value. Like it’ll outlast 3 or 4 cheaper ones. I do fall victim though to spending too much to make useful something I already spent too much on…

    Case in point, I’ve got a Shimano spinning reel I bought during a case of crazy female induced mental instability - it was like 3x what I had ever spent on a reel. Now it’s hanging from the ceiling in my tackle room, doing me no good. But it would look FABULOUS on one of these rods hahahaha

    I have 4 different rods i use & that's either a 13 foot acc crappie stix super grip cross over rod, a 12 foot jenko kevin rogers signature series rod, an acc crappiestix 10 foot mid reel seat or a 9 foot okuma connisuer. You know a man can't have just one certain rod for everything or he wouldn't have anything to complain about spending money on.

    I been having Carpel Tunnel issues using 13' rods. I can flip a 1/8 oz jig plenty far with 11 1/2-foot rod.
