Since I can't cuss here on the board, here's what I have to say:
!#@!@@#$#^$#!!! 1500 bucks on tackle! #@!$! I had problems after going to the Fred Hall Show and spendin' $100 on some tackle! Oh well.:(
The Megabass are really nice rods. But with a warranty like that, I'd rather buy a really high end GLX or St. Croix blank and build it myself. For $500, I could buy a GLX blank, put the nicest guides in the friggin' world on it and make my owm handle type with money left over for a decent reel! Oh well, hope the Megabass serves you well. They are probably the best rod company for makin' the finesse stuff, I'm pretty sure it'll do most of your DS stuff (excluding sight fishing of course and probably water past like 40 feet).
