Billy V is me. When you contacted me a while back, I was not an "offical" Sponsor, with a full inventory. Since then I've taken the plunge and am trying to keep most SW & the FW DHX models in stock, in a variety of colors, as well as waranteeing any rods broken from people who have purchased blanks from me.
When I caught my JC, it was with an 8- Monster & SAltiga 40, in which the drag didn't work, at all. It was pretty much a locked down tug of war, and when the fish decided to run, teh drag was sticky and jerky, to say the least. I also cranked up a few 100# sharks with that rod, and my friend Gamakatsu had 2 Tuna bust off 60# because teh drag 100% locked up, adn the rod bent into teh reel seat with teh foregrip on teh rail. I was standing next to him, and we both kind of ducked out of the way as we though t the rod was goign to explode. Instead the line broke and rod almost catapulted out of his hands fom the recoil, lol. I finally replaced the drag washers after that trip, lol.
