Alphahawk, as always thanks and nice to hear from you. If the difference between these 2 rods as you put it “splitting hair,” I think I can now sleep knowing I didn’t blow a good chance of picking up an exceptional rod for money spent. Truth be told I did ponder about just getting another AG Mass beat extreme ( it was that fun of a rod), but there are nowhere to be found at all Japan online stores but at the mercy of EBay asking price. So went I searched high and low for a good if not better replacement and I came across Ares rod reviews on YouTube, in Russian of course. There and then my heart settled on a Ares Dream Yume-aji model ( it’s that beautifully made), but I wasn’t ready to spend Evergreen Superior SS money unless it’s a Evergreen Superior SS rod…lol, as you’ve mentioned before they are best of the best. After saying I think this Blue Porter will serve me well next to the Tict Ice Cube for time being.
