One of my Saint Croix rods has hand written specs from the factory, lol. Must be poor quality!

 

That probably looks pretty good, or at least unique. 

A Dodge Charger sounds good to me. I drive a itty bitty Hyundai Accent.   

Hootie

if i wanted a rod like that 873 , i would have it built on a St.croix 5C71MHXF-B , would Citra-strip the blank down to the raw blank , would wrap with micro guides , fuji skt split reel seet and have split EVA grips .

would be a lot lighter and stronger and ridicously sensitive, a killer 3/8-1/2 oz. jig rod ....

Slightly off topic, but you would have a killer rod with a voided warranty.

And when it broke, would probably post all about it here, lol.
