Yep. Today I ordered the Avet EX-2 narrow and the Calstar WC-655XXH. Spooled it up w/ 135# spectra and 80# Hi-vis Yellow Ande top shot. I should get it on Fri. Price wasn't too painful, but absolutey the most expensive rig I've ever purchased. C'mon, AJ's!!!!!!!!!!!! C'mon, Tuna!!!!!!!!!!!! Come see what lite-liner's got for ya!!! just as good as waiting for Christmas. -B

LL, Your going to like it. Might want to order a 50# clear topshot.
Looks like I may have been infected also. Just looked inside one closet and there are twelve (12) offshore rigs there and I just ordered two more rods! I need more hands!
Jerry Uh oh, Snagged again

Avet 4/0 exw and a calstar 755xh (i think)
its a good rig but, Im starting to think that the action on the rod is too light.... it seems to fish 60# better than 80#
maybe that will be the second rod I build....
or, maybe ill shorten the topshot....

I think you have a e-glass rod, probably a 655h or 655xh. A 755xh is a solid 80# light 100# rod.
