Great job turnign a HOTTIE thread...into a NOTTIE thread. Thanks, you just saved me $5 for a couple of slices of pizza.

The line touched the grip, not the blank, the camera angle was above the rod. Still, I did not static deflect the rod to test for 20#'s, adn I admit the guids are not placed well - this was my first rod in this style, and I learned a lot.

Also keep in mind, you should NOT have any rod pointed at that angle while fighting a fish. Take a ruler and place it in line with teh PVC rodholer, and you will see jus thow much that rod was bent. Tha tis NOT A rod to be used for heavy duty fishing, I 100% agree. Ergo the 20-40# rating (5-10#'s of drag, unless you jigging people don't abide by the 1/4 rule, which I asume you don't)
