    Being curious, I did an online search. Most of the places that sold it were from other countries? I added one to a cart, $24.99 with $52 shipping to U.S.! Where did you find yours?

    I found the one I looked at in a walmart towards Orlando. If you pass a wally that you don't normally get to, it pays to stop. None of the stores within 10 miles of me have much in the lighter rods cuz I'm close to salt water. Whole different set where I saw that Vigilante.

    The old cabelas fish eagle 11 1/2 foot is correctly rated for 2 -4 lb line and is hoot to cast and catch with. The new one has a little too much power for my liking.

    For a short high performance rod I found the 6' Temple Fork Outfitters an excellent choice. Not whippy, good backbone, and guaranteed for life. Wife stepped on one and broke it. I sent back it to them and they sent me a new rod. I am running 6 pound Nanofil and it throws 16th oz jigs far and accurately. I really like it.

    Just so that everyone's clear, TFO has several 6' UL rods, and one model is VERY whippy. (I know because I used to own one). It's made from a 2wt fly rod blank and has the softest action I've ever seen. It was too soft for my liking.





    Just FYI ...

    Yep. Like most purchases one should try it out before buying.

    Which is why I have stated that I have to feel before I buy. The difference can be drastic.
