I dont know, I have two 1084c's one in IMX and one in rainshadow. Ive landed 45# kings on them and they handle em just fine. It may be bent to the real seat but its done the job in a timely manor. I have notticed that I would like a little more backbone. Somtimes I get a little scared that the dam thing is gonna explode as I push it to the limit every time. Id rather break a fish off because I put the meat to it rather than loose a fish because I babyed it too much. I like the 1084 because it has an extra 6" it gives you the best of both worlds floats and drift gear. Fishes both well. But I do have worries about its backbone when I have bigger fish on in higher flows.
