Very nice rod and I don't use it for breaming but try to find any excuse for any other fish to use it on. Only complain I have (which I'm more than willing to live with) is the butt length. For one handed casting, I would have preferred to have a slightly shorter butt and I'm not about to saw it off either because it will kill the perfect balance the rod has. The titanium recoil is a nice touch except that it doesn't look too flash but again, I'm willing to live with them given the advantages of having them ie. lightweight and you can travel with it and not worry the guides will damage in transit when banged around. Nothing worse than getting to a fishing spot a good distance from civilisation only to find you can't use the rod because one guide has a broken insert and you have no way to fix it!
