Krugcat, I won the first ABA tournament I fished in with the Denali and placed 3rd at another ABA. I also won 3 jackpots with the jig/worm rod all since the start of October. The fish are just picking at the bait and you can feel the bite real easy on a slack line. I am so impressed with them I will have a boat full when I am done also. The rod not only looks good but the split grip makes it a very comfortable rod to hold all day. Great job BCB on picking up this line of rods.Last edited by Ok Bigbass on December 2nd, 2008, 2:37 pm, edited 1 time in total.
