the sst's have a very think graphite wall....

just think, when they first came out there were over the counter life time warrentie...then after the first year they were out they switched to a one year warrentie. wonder why?

anyway i have owned 6 different models, and have tried my hardest to break these rods on fish. all of them have performed very well, their actions are nice and feel great.

the only reason i got rid of all mine was due to the ugly color and chrome guides....i hate chrome guides.
