I've been eyeballing this rod for some time now. Years in fact. However I never could bring myself to pay 4 figures for it.

I understand the rod will ship Monday. I hope to have it by Wednesday. Will be more than likely paired with this reel.

Well what rod is it?    Stop being so secretive.

There's one thing he can't hide.

I figured you would go with a Pagani P300.  Plat has them at 20% off.

Hmm..... 200 yds of 8 lb test.  Thats a big reel.

Jebus.  I should have looked closer.  I always assumed they were finesse reels.

You tease  :)

You're beyond help. :-[ ;D

I should have the rod tomorrow.  Wont be able to use it for months.   Oh well.  Will give me time to find a reel that is possibly better matched.   

Fed Ex just delivered it.    Headed out for a bit, haven't opened it yet... pictures tomorrow!

ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stop ogling this rod. It's beautiful. It'll get a good workout this spring. Here's some pictures I took.

Rod comes with its own flannel shirt.

An idea of what's inside.

My first split bamboo rod. Megabass Rossa Pregunta.

Detail work is awesome.

Tail end.

Handle work is impressive.

The ferrule fits nicely. Again awesome detail.

I think the yellow Pixzilla looks great against the bamboo. The cork grips tie it all together.

The classic round reel looks at home here as well.

Thanks for looking.

Wow.  That thing is freakin beautiful.

Indeed beautiful.!

that is the sweetest rod I have ever seen! Not a chance in hell I would use that thing, I have freakin lures I paid $25 for and don't use, never mind that piece of art.

My first rod was a split bamboo casting rod.  It eventually broke.  It had a Zebco 33 on it, which was a huge upgrade from the Flooger knuckle-buster that was originally on it.

That is an incredible looking rod. Looks like Christmas came early for you. Congrats on your latest acquisition. 8-)

F me running !  what a combo !  ( I 'll be danged, where 's the friggin ' drool icon ?  >  )

Well...

Raul,

You need one of these rods...the place I bought it from has atleast one more.

I don't think I could have any interest in a combo like that. Now, all that liquor in the back ground...

A Conquest 50(1) would look pretty darn good on there as well.

Hmmm, not right now, I 'm after a PX68 and a Megabass Zonda.
