The two rods I would absolutely NEVER EVER recommend to anyone would by the IMX 1025c or the Sage 290. Biggest POS rods EVER. Other rods I'd add to the POS List would be the Sage 196, 296, IMX 1084c and the XST 1085c. Only a moron would own or use any of those rods over the 1143.

Can't say that I've ever busted an 1143. i have witnessed a few people on this board break them.....i let them know there is this little thing called "drag" that can be loosened when you are running 30lb power pro on a rod rated for 8-12lb line...

The Moderator The Chosen One Registered: 02/09/00 Posts: 13942 Loc: Tuleville	Oh no. Why would you do that? I say not only do you let 'em crank their drags way down, but tell them to hold the rod about a foot above the top cork. Make sure they really pull back hard with the hand that is firmly grasping the rod blank. I always figured the 1143 made for a better 3 piece rod than anything else. Matter of fact, our very own midwest boys even published a photo of HOW to properly fish with an 1143s. _________________________ Tule King Paker
