Beetle, that rod you were asking about came from Cabelas I believe. It's a Tony Edgar signature series made by Ozark Rod Co. Model # SS1202 2 piece 12' IM7. I think it's about a $45 or $50 rod . It seems heavy to me so I weighed on the wife's postal scales and it came in at 6.4 oz. It's tip heavy. It was gift so you know how that goes.
