Skeet, i'm with you on this one. Saying in one of his YT video that if he (our Alphahawk) can only have 2 rods, this be one of the 2 is saying alot about the AG 67 Special Taper.

I’ve been fishing the Slow Taper last couple of times out. It truly is in a class to its own. Since I have a captive audience with all those crappie on Lake Poinsett I have been taking multiple rods with me just to feel the difference from one to the other. While I truly love each rod I own the ST is still the most crisp, steeliest rod I have ever used. And to have that in such a slow rod is amazing to me. While I have not purchased much gear of late I still would love to get the Presso anniversary rod. Enjoy reading your take on it.

ALERT: I received a text message purportedly from USPS about a delivery failure in customs due to mistake in zip code. I am 99.99% sure this is a scam. I don't think Jason has even shipped the rod yet. The text looks legit - but isn't. After I entered my address info, it then wanted a credit card info for a $0.30 re-delivery fee. Alarm bells went off, and I did not respond further, except for a "spicy" reply. Note: per USPS, they do not charge these fees. IT IS A SCAM. I notified the shipper Jason thru ebay message that he might have a security vulnerability, or has been hacked. Fair warning - don't fall for it. I also forwarded screen shots to USPS investigations.

I’ve e gotten that text several times, it’s definitely a scam

Yeah, I only have one shipment in progress, and I assumed it was related, but on further review, there is no mention of the shipper or the item. I did mention it to Jason and he agreed it definitely was not from them. So maybe a false alarm as far as the rod purchase, but a real scam nonetheless.

Could it be the price increase? For me it's both the price and esthetic, but boy what a piece of engineering that rod must be to be in the sub 30 grams in weight. Anyone have one they can compare to the Eradicator RF or at least shed some light on it?

Hi I have both both rods, I have a review on here on the ereadictaor prototype If ur interested I think I compare both rods a little bit, but I do greatly prefer the new eradicator prototype , if u wanna know any specific s lemme know
