When I was rod shopping,I liked both rods.
I chose the 1143#
I guess I wanted the extra 6",I love this rod,
IMHO I think it is the best all-around rod for steelhead.

I have a question?
what is this crap with guys putting braided lines on float rods????????
I understand all the benifits,I just don't understand the reasoning......there is a time a place to use braids......fish jig and floats ain't it.
what happend to.......the sportof it confused .....My .02..........Os
