My new 8wt, came on the brown truck today. to replace my cabelas rod i lost a section of last week.
I got a winston ascent. I was really impressed witht he quality of the rod being a chinese made winston. It 's a rocket launcher, I was thrown a dt line over 60 ft with about 15 mhp wind in my face tonight.
My only concern is for steel I was always told to use a mid flex rod like my previous 1, softer tip helps absorb some of the shock of the line. The ascent is more of a tip flex. Do you think that too much back bone will hinder me any?
