I got my new rod Saturday evening, hadn't seen a mail man in over a week with all the snow we got. Great looking rod and feels great in my hand. Browsing through my reels to find it's mate and pulled a REVO MGX20 off another rod and put it on. First try and this combo balanced perfectly. Now I just need some open water to play with my new toy. Thanks Randy, I really like this rod without even casting it. It's going to see a lot of action.
