Shucks, wish I would have known yesterday. I had one in my boat, I had the white Lavro that fished with you yesterday I think. Anyway, I love mine, it has enough backbone to really set a hook whereas even the 1263 sometimes lacks. Sure you'll hook fish with softer rods but getting them to the bank is another story. I also use it for a mooching rod when I go to Sitka. E-mail me if you want to see it, my office is in Bothell. I had mine built by Greg's Custom Rods in Lake Stevens with Fugi guides, picked my colors, with my name on it for $180 I think but that was a couple of years ago now.
