might just to have to get her one for a present on MY BIRTHDAY to woo her and give her a surprise She actually snapped the old Daiwa pole i gave her when we were dorado fishing, when she accidentally caught a larger than usual brown shark, and when it freaked out by the boat and she got the pole got caught caught in the cleat as the shark took off. Then of course the pole snapped in half. Blackfin rods are quality. Ive held a few of them and can say they are beautiful, and you can also see they are hand made with care if you look it up on youtube.

Very strong with a light action tip to see the small bites. The ladies love the bright pink which also can be seen really well when fishing at night, I have three of these rods with pink Avet reels which is an attractive setup as well as great performance.
