I love the He2 7'11 rod. Awesome tip. Great for pitching baits, but it has a powerful backbone too. I was sight fishing on Conroe two weeks ago and hooked a nice 5 lb'r and loosened the drag on my reel, when she dove under the boat.
Needless to say, I forgot I had done that and later I was pitching a tube under a dock and saw my line move and when I set the hook, all I heard was my reel giving up line. I reeled up the slack and the fish was still on the line. Even with the reel giving, I was able to get a good hookset. Love that rod. I think I will have Clifford build me one with titanium snapback guides on the next one I purchase.
