The Banshee was the first high end area trout rod I bought. I fell in love with it. It is smack you in your face sensitive. The 67 model really should have had one more guide but that was the only thing I found wrong with it. The SUL and XUL models behave perfectly. The new Fine Tail area rids are probably just as sensitive as the older Banshee, and lighter too. But if I’m heading out the door I’ll pick up the Banshee over the Fine Tail any day. As I’m sure you know all of these rods have a certain feel. All the Banshees feel the same, and I’m not meaning that in a bad way. It just has the feel of a quality rod. And I love the aesthetics of the Banshee. Pair one up with a Presso reel and hard to beat the looks. Always wonders what Daiwa thought when that rod came out with the Presso orange accents. I have gotten rid of several rods, and when I let my 2018 Corto go I regret to this day I sold that rod. The Banshee is one I just don’t want to let go. The new Banshee interest me with the T1100G. That material is very sensitive yet is more flexible and more durable. Have a couple of rods with that and love the feel of them.

Regards
