Rebel9921 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Yepper... after 3 months of long waiting (Which was worthwhile anyways) I finally got my two Pro Edge 8'6 Edge Series rods home!!!Only if I was Wolverine and my hand healed up quickly... June 7th couldnt come any quicker... I'll be sure to post up one or two pics of the rod when I get the reels on... gonna be sweet!!! Only need to decide which lure to throw out first... MANY thanks goes to Keith of Pro Edge... Those two rods definitely would be my mainstay rods for 2008... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjac Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Reb, Those rods are soooo nice, congrats! Money well spent, like a wand in hand.....really it's hard to describe how light and powerful they are. They will kick muskie bu "double TT".......I'm leaning on KT to get a bass rod done for me by this weekend! Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel9921 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Oh yeah Chris... they're very much more lighter than the rods I used last year... I did bring along two Strike Reaction Rods along so Keith could change the tips (but naturally he forgot the kit... shows how BUSY he is... ) and I compared both SR rods to one Edge rod and its very much noticeably lighter... Hope you dont mean "breaking his hand" mafia-style when you're referring to "Leaning on KT" He did mention that hes still 3 months behind... and from what I can remember... that would mean he would be unable to fish as he'd have no rods... He said he wouldnt build his own rods til hes caught up on fishing... and god knows some of us would love it if we could go fishing with him this year...

Tippman Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've got a 8'6" Legend Tournament with a split grip handle and pimped out I can't wait to get. Should be ready in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDXFisher Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I've got a 8'6" Dback medium supposed to be ready next week, too! I was hoping for the GLoomis but they couldn't get the blanks in time to be finished by my arrival. I'll be picking up a couple Taloras, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Edge Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks guys.I will have another couple weeks of building with my boat in the shop. Been a crazy year. Make sure you order in the fall for next year if you are interested. I do have some new bass sticks that I need to put on the water for some R and D.
