Got this blank when they first started (April 2011). It has been through more than a blank deserves. It’s been rebuilt several times and has barely left the boat. Every day of prefishing and tournaments. It’s wrangled its fair share of BIG Reds and 10lb+ Albies too.

Last couple trips to Louisiana it was my GoTo for sight fishing from the tower. Latest trip for the 2017 IFA Championship down in Venice, La. it got appropriated by my partner for the whole trip. He used it well!

We were top 20 day one but slipped day two. A fish that died on the long run back cost us dearly!

Note no transition guides. Straight 03 micros. Since 2013. It’s like snapping a whip.

Videos at bottom are of this rod (803mod) and the 804mod I made for topwaters.

Amazing blanks.

Circa 2014.

All still going strong except the red one. Tip got broke off when hit by anothers cast.
