Pro series also has micro guides. Pulling rod doesn't.

I have a dipping stick and a meat dragger I love them both like people have said best rod I've ever used. Starfish great guy to deal with too ...

I have a feeling if I fished the pro series I'd like it more. I like a fast tip action but can't get past the red/white color combo. So wish rod companies offered a selection of color combos.

Would like to see a shorter cast n drag rod. Heard chatter of it.

Ken aka Starfish is a really great guy. He's went out of his way to help me get a few rods. Been begging him to get them to make another 8ft Huckabee rod like they use to make. Best all around rod I've ever seen. I've still got 3 of them and wouldn't take $300 for one of them, you can't get them anymore. Best cast and drag, drop shot, or super light jigging rod out there. Casts a mile and its got plenty of backbone too. Love the long cork Tennessee handle, makes it easy to balance your rod and reel and that's more important than most people think for really great feel and sensitivity. Sure wish Todd and Ken would come out with another 8ft model. His old Quantum 8fters are legendary in my neck of the woods.

Andy, the Dipping rods have been my favorite for awhile. I had the pleasure of fishing with Ken when the Pro Series was only out in Beta form and got to fish it before Todd even did. Love the Pro Series just as much as my Dippins. Recently sold a couple of them to my 81 yr old friend who is coming to pick me up at 5 am for a morning of using both styles until the heat knocks us off the lake. Was good to see you at Gibson.

Got my two pro series in the mail yesterday.....tried them on Ft Gibson....swung a 3 lb bass in the boat with no problem....also several crappie....gonna take some getting used to the feel of them but so far so good....i still like the balance of the dipping rods due to the tennessee handle but the pro series has alot more backbone to it.

Have used most long rods on the market, and helped design a long rod for a popular company as well. I can say hands down-bar none that the Huckabee's are the finest Long Rod on the market anywhere.... I can also say I own and use 3 models of Huckabee's on a daily basis with clients and myself. The other side is their customer service which is far above any I have ever delt with.......Ranger
