I like the waterloo's, i'd rather throw an All-star skrimptail special than a American rodsmith.

I have an older american rodsmith trout rod, it doesn't have enough guides on it but it is light and sensitive, its held up against some pretty nice size reds, but that rod was given to me, I'd prefer a falcon inshore rod before I'd go with an American rodsmith.

Drost,
Which waterloo do you fish with, or do you have a couple for different applications?

Disagree...I watched at least 5 Am Rodsmith rods snap in my boat alone..... I had one a few years back...snap!!!

Skeleton is crap.... Know of at least 12 that have broke...3 in my boat!!! I have only snapped one waterloo and it was doing something stupid...let's just say wharf fishing at night ....

I would use a All star or Falcon before any Rodsmith or Castaway!!
