No catch there at all. Great bang for the buck, great performance. My next rod in the pipeline is an RX7 popping rod, and i think I'm in love already...

Brad....Look to the left.....Utmost Enterprises is one of quite a few...Mick and Carol go the extra mile.

As far as the Rainshadows and Forecasts go ...it is not only price that is un-beleivable but also the QUALITY !!!!!!!!!!!

Swampland and Fishsticks4U, both sponsors on the left.

Batson stands behind everything they sell. Great service.
