Yup, Phil is a great fellow. Wish that I could have been able to make it in. I will be there tomorrow, for sure. Haven't had the chance to get in there.
While each angler has their own CastAway Rod that they love, and even a series that they love, I sincerely believe that if each angler on here would pick up a CastAway rod, fish it for an entire day with a lure that they know they can catch fish on, and would hook into some bass, they would all buy at least one, and probably more.
Right now, I am using the Pro Sport series, and I haven't held a finer rod. I absolutely love my 7'0" setup, which I put the Citica on, for flipping and pitching. LOL At the moment, it has a jerkbait tied on it. That just goes to show just how versatile that the CastAway rods can be.............they can be changed up for 2-3 different presentations, and you will still have the fullest feel on each bite.
The reason that I like the 7'0" rod for the jerkbait is due to the hits coming on the pause, more times than not. I have honestly had slack in the line and FELT the hit through the rod. And that's no kidding. I didn't see the line twitch, I didn't see anything at all.........I just felt a small "shock" and I knew to set the hook.
I am sure that you will find that you love that rod more and more, and I hope that Phil, and his warranty on his sales will bring ya back to Pro Lures.
