"BTW 56 SURR. These are my grouper diggers. They just don't break. Well, they will if you do something stupid. Overall, I have not used any other rod I like more. Light weight, strong, long lasting. The price is rather attractive also."

btw 56 surr rod,November 9, 2006
By seasprayfrom Courtenay British Columbia
"This is an outstanding rod for this price. I have guided for halibut fishing for 9 years on the west coast of Canada. I use this product and have recommended it to many of my friends. The rod has great power yet is still light weight and has a sensitive feel that many other more expensive rods dont."
