I ordered this rod just because I really liked the parigee rod so much. Just curious who here has used one and if ya like it. 

I don’t know about the Royal, but I did get my father a Speed Demon rod for Christmas last year. I got him the 7’ medium cranking rod, and when I first held it i thought this feels comfortable. Then I shook it and the whole thing wobbled like a giant wet noodle. I have never seen a rod do that before, but actually when you cast it and are fishing with it it’s really not that noticeable. He is happy with it though.

I hope it’s as nice as the parigee. It’s a great rod and this one was s few bucks more. I ordered it to pair with the tatula Type-R i just ordered 

I have the Royal and Speed Demon, hard to beat for the money. Imo
