The Castaways have been very popular with my customers. The 963 is my personal favorite. It has a very soft tip, but enough backbone to handle bigger fish. As one of my clients said yesterday when he called me, "I never realized a rod could be that soft in the top and still have plenty of power to land big fish". He caught one over 8 using his 963 this past weekend and was calling to tell me how much he loved it. I often tell people the 963 is like the Loomis CBR903, 6 inches longer and a little more power. So, if you want more power than that, look at the 964 and 965.
