I have fished them hard and I mean HARD. They are far superior to any rods that I own Charlies, laguna, Waterloo etc.

Cause dem rods wont last a minute catchin a big lake trout or a Venice red.....
Plus they ugly as can b.... It's like a flag for potlickers when ya put that rod n Ur rocket launcher!!

Waterloo = high dollar to feel special.

Castaway skeleton , that's what u need!

I guess u choose rods like u choose women..... Looks don't matter long as u get hookedup???
Potlicker refers to those who fish off of the skills of others . Instead of searching for fish they follow boats and hope that the boat will lead them to fish. They have limited knowledge of fishing and bc of laziness and lack of respect for others will most likely never become a better fisherman.

A friend of mine that works at cabelas said the new ones should bold up better. He talked to the rep after they were getting so many returns and he said they revised them since.

They got a lifetime warranty but a 40 dollar shipping and handling fee. You pay 200 for a broken rod. Then you gotta talk to some foreigner about something she knows nothing about..Bought two rods (ABu Garcia) on the site Tacklewarehouse... cost me 10$ overnight shipping...Carrot stick= 250$ outta your pocket, a bad taste in your mouth, and the red arse. HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!!

Please never place a Carrot Stick or Castaway in the same sentence as Waterloo,,,, those two rods are like cane poles compared to a Waterloo rod!!!

So keep the Academy rods in the same sentence but please don't try to raise them up in waterloo Category
Thank You

Whatever..... How much is waterPOO paying u to make say stuff like that.
Castaway skeleton ain't an academy rod.... So get Ur facts strait. And if Ur trying to bash rods from academy or even people who buys rods from academy u really need to think twice..... That's a group of people not even u can debate with.
And I pretty sure u were loaded up with all-star rods not to long ago.

And yea deadly d, cumara is an assume rod!! Got 2 of em and love em, broke one and got instore swap out at bass pro.

I have used lots of All Stars and Academy rods until I found a real rod.... There is no over the counter rod for trout fishing that can be compared to a WaterLoo... Not shimano or Castaway.... Castaway is pure junk off the top.... How many Skeletons have been broke just on this site...cousin Nate has broke 8 of them...No guides on big lake would even touch them because they are JuNK!!! If you can find me a top notch guide outfit who uses Castaway as there main rods..I would love to know!!!

Only because they sponsor him...which means he can break all he wants...don't cost him nothing...I'm talking about a guide service...not someone who is force to use a product due to sponsorship,,,,big difference..... You and me both know if Falcon said ill pay you 10,000 a year and free rods....we. Would throw Falcons like food stamps at the super food in New Orleans
