You’re going to have to go through a sniper if you want one. None of the sites that have them ship to the US.

Probably just trying to make some money on the rods. Don't want to say where he got it from and selling as soon as they arrive because "too much stuff." :lol:

Bought all Vigore and all are different lengths. Just trying them all out. I'm a hoarder and rarely sell anything. Don't sell gear at all but may sell some. Only gear i've ever sold was upgrades and to friends only. Anybody that knows me knows I hoard gear. Also paid way over retail for them as they are hard to get and shipping from Japan.

I'm considering the 2020 7'1" Heavy Fast and would appreciate some input if someone has this stick or has input on my (incorrect?) reasoning. I'm looking for a rod that's "just" powerful enough for flipping the edges of heavy cover. I want to be able to turn big fish but I'm not looking for a lot of lifting power (I have a heavy flipping set up). Basically, I need more than a medium-heavy but want the rod more to the lighter side of the heavy spectrum. When I saw that this rod was rated for up to 1oz lures (which will cover 3/4oz jigs with many trailers), I thought that boded well for the rod not being too heavy. Then, I saw where the rods minimum line weight is 14lbs. That heavy of a bottom-end line rating would seem to indicate that this stick is more of a true heavy. In my mind, it being rated for just 1oz lures indicates that it's fairly thin-tipped and will give under load enough to provide shock absorption for lighter lines (at least 12 if not 10lbs). Am I thinking about that correlation correctly or am I off somewhere?
