Very Happy, May 28, 2008
By WayWardWind2 from Pensacola, FL

"This is my second cobia rod the first one snapped in half at home thankfully, while I was trying to set the drag on my reel. It must have just been a bad blank or a fluke. Bass pro was more than happy to swap out the rod for a new one. I am happy to say that I am satisfied with this rod. It seems very stiff but allows you to cast a mile. Great job guys."

"I bought two of these (8' models) at the 2007 spring fever sale. I love the rods so much that I quit using the custom built rods I had. They are light but have great backbones. You can really drive the hook into the hard mouths of cobia. Also took these offshore with me several times and light-weighted some big red snappers and groupers. Did have any problems turning the groupers around. I did buy two more this 2008 spring fever sale. Nice job BPS!"
