Glad to see I'm not the only one who tries to catch a truck!!
Looks very nice! How did the rod feel when you were pulling on it?? I found that the faster actions tend to transmit more vibrations to the angler, but some like the Seekers, don't do that as much.

The rod felt strong the first 1/3 of the rod is soft but fast action if that makes sense. I think the light/fast tip will allow me to throw baits easier but still have enough back bone to handle bigger fish. I didnt feel any vibration through the blank but the drag was just barely moving...... hopefully ill see what it feels like on a big BFT.
Nice! The fast action will let you cast lighter stuff easier and it looks like it has plenty of backbone, but a little flex to absorb some of the tremors. Looks nice to me!
