I guess i've been fortunate. My SSU has been a battle stick. I've beaten 30 lb fish in running current no problem. Thrown everything from big shads, to redfins, to eels. I love my SSU and I hope she continues to hold up...

it's about time i guess. they've lost a lot of sales in the NE w/ the popularity of CTS and Century. so, both St Croix and Lami now offer a nano-rod/blank. i'll miss the SS lineup, at least a couple of blanks. i'm surprised the tri-flex surf is still out there. i've never felt a more top-heavy blank than that series. i'll be curious of the guide layout on this new series and where the split is.

Is it a 120 1MH? For some reason, Lami hit a home run with that blank, while other SSU blanks were snapping like dry twigs.
