I agree with TC, that's a great rod! I have the same exact one downstairs just waiting for a quiet night of sulphur dries. 😁 I pull it out when I want a day to feel "special".
Fair price on a nice rod. I'll put out some feelers for ya. 👍
If anyone is considering it, don't let the 2 piece scare you away. Unless you're dragging it somewhere on an airplane you'll appreciate how the 2 piece casts and how quick you can get it slapped together!
(If the original post will allow, you might consider updating your title to reflect the price change.....$500 was IMO a little out of line and that number might be putting people off?)
