New rod

[Ducktrickster]

I bought a falcon coastal and it broke on the first descent trout I hooked with it. I had a friend of mine build me a 7.5 foot custom with a st. croix blank and love it. It is very light, extremely sensitive, well balanced, and it is still in one piece after a year. He is currently building me a rod with micro guides spiral wrapped that is going to be the bomb. I fished with one similar to it last month and it is amazing how sensitive and how well this rod casts. P.M. me if you want to contact him.

ST. croix was $170 if I remember correctly. The mirco spiral should be around $200 maybe a little more. It really depends on the type of blank and the guides. I'll call him and find out.
