Thanks for becoming a SaltyCajun sponsor, Billy!
I personally have two Billystix rods, and love them. I can cast quite a bit farther than with my American Rodsmith, Castaway, or Laguna, and it's easier to reel in the big ones without the rod rolling in your hands. If you've never used a SpiralStix with the eyes wrapping around the rod, you ain't never fished.
