Just got home from fishing and I've got to agree on the certified pro, mine is a x96 mc-t. Took my 1st steelie on this rod this afternoon a nice 8 lb. chrome hen. Was fisning the 1082/stradic 2000 all morning, took a lunch break and came back at em with the casting rod. Sorry Parker but I'll disagree with you on the imx in a spinning rod every time I pick up that rod its like falling in love all over again!
