The marble he does is wicked. I looked at some of the pictures on google. This one almost looks like fire flames.

I tested all of my new bridge sticks...I liked T90XH most due to its smooth bending...Most casting distance comes with Calstar...
No problem of casting 1 LB weight with any of these 9footers...

Yeah, Rare da bridge man... Let's go fishing...
I couldn't whip the rods with most conventional reels I have except for one with magnetic control...
I had to cast every rod a little differently over 25 knot wind gust... I tried 8, 12, and 16oz...
I pulled 2 jacks (4-5LB), 1 blue (5LB), many cats off Jupiter inlet... 9 ft were perfect length there...

Hey Raul you getting the pigments from Cali?

Vodoo Rods has taken the productline in big parts from Batson Enterprises. The owner Silvia has Cancer or had Cancer and gave up the biz for various reasons of enemy in the field of distributors and developers of parts n stuff.

Still waiting on a answer from him in regards to D2 epoxy. The clearest and best finish on the globe IMO
