we saw and used some of the rods on this trip. they are sweet. they have an awesome limited edition reel that is bad to the bone.
i caught quite a few fish on the jigs, including a nice yft that looked like a bigeye. the guys at capt. e's looked at liver and said it was a yft. we compared them and mine had a dark, almost black liver. i saw striations, but maybe only cause i wanted to have been able to say i caught a bigeye.
we had very limited topwater action, but nemo caught a bft on top.
i am anxious for the rods to be available. i am in want of two jigging rods and two spinners.
