It has good Mojo too

#3Nice fish. Glad the rod worked out for you. The reel looks great with it and the reel seat looks like it worked fine.

#5Thanks guys I caught and released a couple more that day on the rod and really enjoyed fishing it. William, the reel seat works great. You did a very nice job of retrofitting the new insert.
