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!!
