Perry,
The new rod worked perfect! Good backbone, sensitive, and it casts great!
I was using a 3/4 oz sinker today. I can see myself using a 1 1/4 oz easily.
I was using my Alvey 500 BCXL reel and it goes great with the new rod.
I will be fishing for trout soon with the new rod. I might just have a beer while
I'm doing it.
Robert
