Sent the pic of the lift and details to Ron at BarBar and he got a laugh out of it. Said it looked like I had bent the creaks out of it. He sent the lift to Seeker and said they didn't have much of a sense of humor. They replied that they recommend no more than lifts of 30% of the rods rating. HA! Guess I'm lucky I didn't snap it, but it seemed to handle it without protest. The Super Seeker is a heck of a blank. They'd (Seeker) probably really pass a stone if they saw MrBill's XXX loaded to 65lbs.
You'd have thought they'd have done this stuff themselves in testing. 10 more days and we're on the road. Venice baby! Lump chunkin'
