Hello,

I picked up an Ambassadeur EON and a Jimmy Houston rod by HT Enterprises (see other threads.)

Spent the day fishing and trying to break them.

I mounted the EON on a 7' Ugly Stik Lite Pro and chucked 1/2 to 1oz crankbaits about 50 yards out, and burned 'em back to shore.  The reel functioned flawlessly.

On the Jimmy Houston rod I mounted an Ambassadeur 4600c3 with braid (w/leader) and spent quite a bit of time jerking jerkbaits pretty hard trying to get the rod to snap.  The thing advertises 80 million modulus so I figured it would.  It didn't.  It also bends pretty easily.

I'm half tempted to buy another one (they're on clearance for ten bucks) and start lifting weights with it.

I'll say this much:  It does feel good.  It's sensitive, and it seems strong.  I can't find the original price, though I believe it was in the $60 range a couple years back.  I'll keep fishing it if/when it busts, I'll just go back to my Daiwa that I took the Ambassadeur from.

Interesting items.

I don't know that I still have it.  I'm terrible about keeping them!  I'll look, though.
