what i meant by putting a bend in it was a large mouth. i saw that pic, and for a while i couldn't figure out what rod it was, but now that i've seen the calcuttas its easy to figure out, well what brand anyway.

next yr (hopefully) i'm doing a 6 day calico trip, so this rod should be nice for throwing swimbaits at cedros and chester. hope i don't hook into a YT with a setup like this down there, eeep! those YTs are means sons of b*tches.
