Many of you probably have not heard of this brand of rod so I've included a link. These are pretty high end rods that are hand made in the USA. This one is 6'9 and has a nice relatively parabolic action which is great for crankbaits and buzzbaits. Of course it will work with a ton of other baits too. The only flaw on it is in the butt (pic) where I cut a hole to insert a weight. It also has a different eye on the tip, the tip was not broken but the guide got damaged so it was replaced. There are a few slight scratches around the hook keeper where a lure will rub some. This rod retailed around $230 but I'm selling it for $80.
