Big thanks Cal!
Side note I know it's old news........ but those who have not you need to go ahead and do yourself a favor and get an X7

I really hope Mr. Ito over at Megabass does a new iteration of this line. Holler if you hear me

I think there's enough talk at least on here to Warrant some sort of the discussion at the Round Table

.
I just have to praise my latest X7 Edition the Super Criffhanger. Such a Nifty little "wakizashi", like other specimens I've had the pleasure fishing It's relatively easy setting the hook! seems like the rod does a lot of the work for you like it has instincts before your instincts so to speak.
I will also take this note to throw out quick thought about a Megabass line let me know what you cats think. Not sure if it's been done and I've done plenty of research but Mr. Ito please put a World's Limited Blade Edition or something of that effect

I see a lot of great lineage, history, Form, and Function that many real world blade applications can also somewhat be paralleled in fishing rods

Sounds sounds nutty but hear me out.
Scimatar - all round medium heavy type at any 6'11" or 7 foot even 1/4oz-1oz med/fast
Galdius - shorter medium heavy leaning on the heavier side say 6'9" 3/8-1.25oz fast
Rapier - longer medium 1/4oz-3/4oz fast action at 7'6"! love that Western Flip!!!
Claymore - Longer at 7'11" heavy versatile 3/8-2oz regular action offset handle.
Xiphos - traditional shorter finesse oriented stick 6'3". med/fast 1/16-3/8oz
Anyway just some of my rambling nonsensical ideas
