I ws jsut about to build a new rod foran upcoming carp trip. I was literally going to buy the blank this Friday. I mentioned the trip to one of my regular customers and said I was looking at a new rod. He says "hold off". he came in yesterday and handed me 2 rods. Says "try 'em and if you like them they're yours.
so I now have a
Fenwick eagle GLC 9' 8 wt
and
Diamondglass Backwater 908(feels like a rocket launcher)
Is it worth the price of a free lunch?
