Thanks, man. I know they're not exactly high end, but I couldn't be happier with them. They're sensitive and the tapers are excellent.
I hooked a hell of a fish with the 65L/Alphas Air combo yesterday and it was handling it like a champ, but she took a hard run under a golf cart bridge right after I got a good look and broke off at the hook. She had me in a tight spot, so I was completely at her mercy and lost the battle.
The rod did an excellent job of both setting the hook and absorbing the surges, and this fish was pulling hard, but in the end the knot I tied evidently wasn't up to snuff. Oh well, it was still a good fight and I got to see how that rod handles a lunker and was impressed.
