I have been working on this with the owner for a couple of years. This of course required many hours of field research. My shop makes the guides. I have been fishing this rod hard on the delta  coupled with a Daiwa Lexa  and big wood. It will pitch a mile if you are so inclined. The guides are indestructible and I am a complete klutz with stomping on gear. Check it!
