That rod sounds like something you could do chin-ups with...[/QUOTE]
I have a gut feeling that the rod will do some 50 pound dead lift tests before
it sees a boat. Txseadog, wrap the living h e l l out of those Winthrop guides. Your wrapping will be tested to the MAX.
Hopefully it will be used to fight a Blue Marlin bigger than the one in the Pic below after it wins the bet. This marlin died 3/4 way in the fight. Otherwise it would have been set free.
