Talk about a blast from the past...Still got my S90MC-T I use it as a back up mostly...still like it, but I like my old LCI Excelon 904 even more (functional, but semi retired after 100+ fish) Even dusted it off & caught a Winter fish on it this season. Paired both of them up with Shimano Bantam 2201 leftys & fish them direct -drive. Fishing with those rods is like taking a classic car out for a spin and loving every minute of it.
