Its based on a catana blank, not the best squid rod, but had it as more of a general purpose rod. Great on the ting, pinkies, flathead etc pretty flexible and liked the length at 8 foot 6. Got other rods to fill its place though.....

seriously, I can't believe what some of you blokes are spending on tackle to catch calas, flathead and tings

makes me laugh

A cala rod is any rod on the boat that is near by. Just cut off the rig, tie on a jig and drift.

Alot of my reels have lasted a long time, I'm still using the luvias DA custom, both for lures and bait which i have had since 2008 / 2009. Unfortunately not many providers still do 2 spools which is what i like to roll with.

Minimum $200 outfit? What is this poxiness you speak of? I felt poor on the weekend fishing a megabass orichi and luvias. The 2 guys I was fishing with were using exist hyper custom branzinos and either a lox ambassador limited edition or a steez thunderstorm. Haha.

As for whether it's needed or not? No it isn't. Is it anyone's business what you decide to spend on fishing gear? No it isn't

Oh man the steez thunderstorm is on my xmas list too. Very nice rod.
