Was talking to an old man at the lake I no. And he had one. I looked it over pretty good as I liked the action of it.

Said it was $135 rod. Looked about right.

He had a guy give it to him because the tip needed replacing. I told him the same thing I've threw away a lot of rods in the past because the rods never the same after replacing the tip.

But after I left I got to thinking about it. I don't need the sensitivity in a crank rod. And I might try having a rod builder put a tip on professionally? Does that ever work but the way?

He sells rods all the time. That's what he was getting at by showing it to me.

Humm I just loved the action/ feel of it. Should have cast it a few times. Will next time I see him.

Anybody have one and like it?

Im broke, but in need of one pretty bad.

Thinking he'd take on trade a falcon rod I don't think much of.

which rapala rod is it specifically? I believe rapala rods are distributed in Canada and have a decent following up there. they aren't really carried in the US by many retailers, if any. I'm not certain on that though.

I didn't really pay attention to it. As I wasn't enter rested at the time because of the tip repair.

Had a nice figure eight style (light didn't stand out much) gold wrap color going all the way up it. Black or dark charcoal grey base color. About quarter inch spacing in the gold. The sun was on it blinding me. While I was trying to read the logo. Which is why I don't even no if it was black

7ft with ten eyes. Can't find it on the net. Must be older model.

Didn't figure they made that many but heck they even have two piece. All the way to jig rods.

I've got a reel he wants. He he.
