Lol. you are correct. I spoke to him, and he was more than will to talk and answer all my questions. he informed me they made all their own blanks and that their ultra light was very limber. This is not at all what I'm wanting. He suggested I go with a light action to get rigidity I am looking for. If I go that route, I can get the H and H rod, a very nice rod by the way, for about $40 less and without the wait. A local boat dealership here stocks them. We are going to BP in the morning, I have a couple of old rods and reels I'm going to exchange for coupons in the trade in deal. I will probably handle a couple of rods there and see if I find something I like.
