Damiki Angel Ex 2 piece ---> 80 bones  

$80....definately look the part but wonder how they perform?

They look great, and $80 is an amazing price point.

However, I've looked all over the interweb and I can't find any specs on them.

They're definitely up there on the stylin and profilin points! I'd be curious on how they compare with the BPS Bionic Blade.

Very sharp looking that is for sure.

Damiki Angel Ex 2 piece ---> 80 bones

I think I'd get jumped fishing something like that where I've been fishing recently  ;D

Good looking rod and *** has them in stock and would look Nice with my Quantum Energy BC and was looking at the Prodigy but this is the same price and love the color.

They only have it in 6'6" for both spinning and casting

Had I seen this before I bought my dark angel, I think I would still have a dark angel...not a bad looking rod though...could do with a little length variety.

Ugly Stick.

Really.  An Ugly Stick.

Around $50.

Can't break them.  

Raul, I have been eyeballing one. I just wished there was more info on them. For just $80 , I might just have to get one and try it out. Heck, I've spent more on a couple of swimbaits that haven't lured or caught anything except me and my wallet.

That's a beautiful rod, but I want to know, how in the world did they slap on SiC guides on an $80 rod? That is fantastic! You'd be lucky to find Hardloy or Alconite.  Wow!  Down, boy! Back in the cage, NOW! ;D

That's what I first thought when I saw them

6 big negatives for me (just from reading the marketing), Adopted SIC guides (probably cloned), IPS/ECS typed twisted reel seats (probably cloned), spigot-joint ferrule*, EVA, 2pc, Korean made...

*(A type of ferrule comprised of a plug or internal sleeve joined internally and permanently to one rod section and fitting inside another section by means of a friction fit.)

Over time they do get lose and fail...

Just a builders 2¢ worth.

Tight Lines!!!  

PS: Raul i'm a bank fisherman and use custom built rods...

It's looking like I will have to order one of the Casting models in the next couple of weeks. I will be getting the MH and see how it does later either this month or next month. I have rods that are a bit more sitting now and this one looks pretty good so think I will try it.
