A few discussions here already. I don't think anyone has one in hand yet. Put the following link in google translate and there is a bunch of info.

My main concern is the design in front of the reel seat. Seems like it might get in the way when holding the rod. Please let me know if that gets in the way while fishing etc.

The first group are shipping Monday to customers of The Tackle Trap. I'll have some time on the water with the Simoom over the next few weeks.

just received mine and it is beyond words how awesome this rod looks and feels. stunning is kind of close. everything on it is perfect fit and finish wise and the unsanded blank is really something to behold. i paired it with its mate the opus -1 and it balances right in front of the reel seat. so very neutral. im looking forward to getting this out on the water!

Thanks go to Gary and the Tackle Trap for helping me acquire this amazing piece of art!

the little piece on the front of the reel seat is actually a neatly designed piece that holds the thumb and finger in an optimal position for manipulating the rod and for detecting bites. it is perfect for how i place my hand on the grip area, which is with two fingers in front and two behind the reel stem with the thumb riding along the top and side.
i'll post a couple of pics tomorrow.

Sounds great, thanks Derek! Pretty sure mine is sitting in the back somewhere at The Tackle Trap waiting for the rest of my order to arrive. Can't wait to see your pics.

Got mine thursday. The rod is amazing! I took it out friday to v jig some walleyes n landed some nice ones n had the rod loaded good too! The rod has the power n sensitivity I've always wanted in wat I call ultimate spinning rod. I was concerned of the front winding check but am please to say it is not an issue. I hold my setup with 3 fingers in front n sometimes 2 n had no issues. I luv this rod! Thank You Gary n TackleTrap!!

Farnorth - yours is here at The Tackle Trap waiting! Thanks Derek and XYZ for the business, I'm glad you guys are enjoying this magnificent work of art. The Simoom is amazing! I've been fishing mine quite a bit on Guntersville throwing senkos and light jig/texas rigs. I've managed to give it a pretty good work out and am very, very impressed. I should post some photos of how it looks with the new Stella C3000XGFI, wow :big grin:

Got mine today.. it's better than anticipated. Nice crisp with a light fast tip and it looks really good. It feels good with the new 2500 JDM Stella - just the right size bodied reel for it.
