Congratulations on the new rod, you will like it. The Luvias will reel like butter compared to the President. I have two of the 1003 and love them. I really could use the 2004h on the MajorCraft X-Ride. I think it might balance a little better. I took it tonight with 2lb Nanofil and the Sowbug Trout Magnet and wrestled some nice ones out of the brush.
The Bluegill kept snatching the Berkley Wax Worm I was tipping the Sowbug with. This my favorite jig head for brush pile fishing, it has a #6 hook though which is a little big for the small nibbler Gills.
