I have seven rods form Texas Sidewinder. Kit is great to deal with and he will build you what you want at a fair price.

One on a hook set, the other was pulling a 3-4lber out of shallow grass. The bass started to dive, in three feet of water and then snap! She pulled the fish to the boat, but as I was reaching down to grab it the rod broke the line.
