    That is a sweet rod. Done a lot of research on those rods and there is a c.com member here who has the 67 Slow Taper. Go for it.

    Randy, just curious, have you bought the Finetail Banshee you were talking about buying? I believe it's the model with the green blank? If so, what are your thoughts?

    I'm thinking about purchasing one. I was thinking about buying the 6'3 model, UL.

    The Banshee is no more. I have the “New” Finetail Area FAX SUL 63 on the way. Should be here probably Tuesday. The only Fine Tail I know with a green blank is the old one. The rod I have coming is only 54 grams....and has 9 guides. The blank must be incredibly light. While the guides are the new Sic-s guides the frames are stainless so for it to be that light the blank must be insanely light. If this rod pans out I will probably get their glass model in the 6 4 length......also insanely light. Will give full report when I get the rod.

    I'm the one with the 6'7" SUL "Slow Taper Special", it has quickly and in dominant fashion, become my favorite rod I've ever owned.

    I don't have any others from this series, but with the build quality of the one I do have, I would not hesitate to order any of the others if it filled a hole in my arsenal.

    I recently purchased a MC Finetail Banshee FTA 602 SUL and after fishing a TM Trout Slayer Series found this JDM rod far to soft for Trout Magnets. Although I did read it was for spoons and maybe small cranks, I really missed the TSS rod’s fast action for TMs.

    It’s a soft rod alright....but softer than a TSS? I use my Banshee all the time for crappie....Gills.....trout with no problems. I tried a Daiwa Iprimi for a short while.....in a light action mind you....and it would make the Banshee look XX fast. I gave it to an 11 year old to try out UL angling.

    Yes, it is too parabolic for me. I find the TSS so much more tactile in my hands. I primarily am fishing wild trout and they are just so quick. I do love everything else about the Banshee, so we’ll made and so light. May start looking at MC Ajing rods...
