I'll vouch for the quality of Brian's rods.  We had some
difficulties but he kept me informed about what was going on. 
Awesome service.   The rod is perfect for the 9 inch slammer,
it can throw the 12 inch but it is a little heavy.  The second
trip out with the rod I had a 6.5lbr inhale a 9 inch Slammer
and the rod played it nice.

Also I have a Rogue Senior Swimbait rod 808,  which is more
for the heavier baits, 12 inch SLammers and 9-12 inch Ospreys
and the like.  But it can throw the 9 inch slammer well but
might be too stiff to allow a fish to inhale the bait like
Brian's rod will.

Anyways for the smaller baits Brian's rod seems perfect, if
you are going to be tossing a lot of larger baits the 808 is
good.  I can't comment on the Rogue 806 or 807 rods but im
sure the 807 is probably going to be about the same action as
Brian's rod.


That was more than I intended to write...
