Hi there Arctic. Fun post huh? Just letting people know that they can own a Helios with a little lesser hardware and a tad heavier for $200 less and we find out who catches the most fish and who will never buy a rod over $250.

By the way, I know James C could cast a broom stick, but was it his choice to fish all day? Proving something and doing it all day, heck even a half of a day, are two entirely different things.

I am covered on the Plastic rods, but I have got some killer glass and a bamboo to build this fall. Just haven't sat down to put them together. Got a killer reels seat
WHICH BY THE WAY, where do you get the Helios reel seat for $15. That would have been my choice, but the ones I found were a bit more money.

Have a new Glass/Plastic blank that is AWESOME!!!! Can't wait to put it together and go drown a fly WITH MY UPPER END LINE
