Bad BAIT MONKEY!
Well I have all you fine folks here to blame. I finally pulled the trigger and stepped the game to a all time high.
I picked up the 103ha steez and a Cumara 7'2" MH fast action rod.
Spooled it up with some 12 lb Sunline Shooter line and hit the water for 30 mins.
I really thought that the rods that I have (quantum sig series, Compre, Vrod, ect) were fine rods till now.
All I can say is that every flap of a chatter bait , every rock, every weed clump is transmitted through the rod.
Casting is a WHOLE different ball game also. WOW can I throw a 1/4 chatter bait a LONG ways. Further then I though possible with the Energy reels that I have. Just amazing equipment when you get to this level of rods and reels!
Thanks everyone for leading me to the never ending dark side of rods and reels!

P.S. To make the deal even sweeter I picked up the rod and reel for $555 as a combo price!

LOL. I guess I was trying to show the rods is senstive. Did get two fish last night at the golf coures though. Little 13"ers so no real test yet.
