Wow! Just received my hackles from the whiting co-op swap. What a bunch of feathers, awesome... It seems like Christmas all over again. These will go great with my new St. Croix rod & Okuma integrity reel I got for Christmas. This may be a low end rod for the likes of most of you folks, but it's high end for this guy! For all of you Sage, Winston users out there... How does the st. croix pro. graphite compare to a higher end rod? Is there any $600 earth shattering difference? This reel feels really nice... any comments?
Happy new year... And "Thanks" Byard & DonO for making the whiting swap happen! Bill P.
