I paid $39.99 for it and it is worth every cent. I never have and never will understand spending the hundreds of dollars some rods cost these days. Be safe, Rayzor 2001 Triton Tx-21/225 Mercury EFI

I tried both 1/2 oz Rat-l-traps and a 3/4-oz one knocker Xcalibur with it. Seems to be a pretty good rod for the price.

I cant rembember for sure, but it seems like there was a seam close to the butt end and that is where it would start coming apart. I liked the rod and didnt even notice it until a buddy pointed it out. if you have one, its worth watching. has anyone else had this problem? Visit our webpage: www.fatsackfishing.com
