I have a Solaris 6'6'' ML that I use for dropshoting and throwing some lighter lures. Couldn't be happier-- and well worth the cash; I think I actually picked it up on sale. I am just really excited about the new rods, I saw them at Fred Hall after hearing some hype from here and there and was blown away. Been chomping at the bit since then. A couple more Rago rats and maybe one of those Armageddons and I am square...for awhile.
