I second the vote for Rainshadow! A custom rod IS better. The Rainshadow is similiar to the GL3 and will run you $100 less. Get the color thread you want, put decals on, your name, whatever. Have TH build you one or better yet make your own! I have built a couple and now Im hooked. All my buddies want me to make them one once they see 'em.

Good luck in your rod search.

Fool cool
