Whoops. I meant to quote @lunkerboss923. The new Evergreen Combat Stick.

 

Another rod with a good price jump is the Fenwick World Class rods. They will start at $420. Woof.

 

ARK has re-designed a few of their series as well. I really like the handles on the current casting rods. They have a nice taper and are quite comfy. Not sure I like them going away from that.

 

Glad I got well stocked on the old Tharps and Invokers. I especially like the seats on the invokers. Looks like they're using the Tharp seats on both series now. They're comfortable with alot of my reels, but are kinda cramped with smaller frames like the Lew's SLP and Curado 70's.

Not gonna lie, the Nessie looks pretty legit, considering the price. Only $10 for a 7" and $13 for the 9". I wonder how durable that plastic is. I heard it's a ripoff from some other company, but what isn't nowadays? That's the fishing world we live in. Video I saw, it has nice action. That's the one thing I was skeptical of. 

Berkley gonna do what Berkley gonna do!

Fat Senko ???

I just got home from ICAST.  Yes, it's that late at night. 

 

Had a blast though.  

 

G'night y'all!

When are they available? I want to know what they weigh 

Mid July.  My guess is about 12 grams.
