Thanks guy's for the feedback. After buying the Eradicator slow taper, currently have 2 of the 6'7" and 2 of the 7'2", before they diasppeared, have become kind of picky. I'm sure I don't NEED another rod, but in all fairness Randy warned me before I pulled the trigger on my 1st ice cube that the rabbit hole was deep, he just didn't tell me just how deep it was. Scott
