fp, i do own 2 berkley rods, the im7's one casting 10-20# rating and one 8'6 8-12 for steelies, but slow action..and yes, thats where i got my name from..cuz i exclusively fish berkley, but have yet to find one over 8'6, except seen one guy with a 10 foot berkley he bought up in cananda..i need a longer rod and a lil more sensitive too..
