Makins117,
I just met with Keith from Pro Edge this morning topick up 2 rods from him. They turned out great. I got 2-9' rods for Dbl Cowgirls and regular bulldawgs. The syncork he uss wil be interesting to use this summer. It is suppose to last longer then the regular cork. He did say if you fish with your shirt off and have love handles it can get to be alittle rough. He was alos talking about the sling blade and he is keeping busy with orders for those. I cn't speak for the Thorne Bros. rods but anything I have purchased from them or suggestions has been great. Their customer service is extremly well as is with keith from Pro Edge. Either way it should be a nice rod made to your likings.
