Trying to get feedback, good or bad, on these rods, they're not to well known on the west coast. They look and sound good from pictures I've seen. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks Bruce.

Great rods! I own 17 of them, strong, extremely light and well built. Most of mine are paired with Curado 101's and Chronarch 51's, these reels balance very nicely on them for effortless casting. Still haven't had the opportunity to test them on true lunkers, but they have handled several nice bass to 7 1/2 lbs. Order one with the Recoil guides for braid, the sensitivity will amaze you. As an added bonus-Larry Mitchell is a great guy to deal with, so buy with confidence. Any specific questions, feel free to send me a PM. Derek Parker

senko9s, yes, right-handed, so the "left-hand" reels are the only way to go. It was a little awkward at first, but it only took a couple of days on the water with them three years ago and now all my reels are lefties.

i figured with the 101's u mentioned. i started as a child with a spinning reel so that's the only way i've known. it makes the most sense for right handers to use lefties but i'm glad i never transitioned. i bet that was hard.
