Very nice score. Love the old Evos. Been keeping my eye open for a SB Jabber also. Have the straight handle Jota and Diablo, would like a SB to to finish off my set. They don't make em like that anymore. ;)

Those old Evolution rods are so nice. I need to get my hands on one someday, preferably a slant bridge. Epic collection!

I love those old Evo rods as well. I have the Diablo, Super Griffon and a SB Jota. Stupid me sold the Espada. Once you dont have it anymore, then you realize it how good it was. A 5 pound asp or walleye on that rod was heaven.

I do have an Arms rod sitting without a reel now. A conundrum to be sure. Fortunately this last addition has got me off the unlucky number of 13 Megabass Rods.
