Another general comment...When I bought my 1084 IMX, the catalog and website showed an exposed-blank reelseat. When I got it, it was cork. I really liked the idea of exposed blank and when I followed up, it was kind of like 'TS-that's how we build them now'.
I know this may seem insignificant but the rod I got was different than that indicated in the catalog and website.
I'll sit down now.
