I'd be interested to know details of your line preferences for your Bandit Troutzilla. Another nice glass rod for kings that I enjoy using is the Echo Bad Ass Glass Quickshot, an 8 foot #9. It is a very smooth casting and powerful rod but is badly let down by the quality of the cork in the grip. After less than a month of hard and sustained use, most of the cork filler has dropped out, leaving a grotty looking grip that feels rough in the hand. The Echo B.A.G. Quickshot is a budget rod, but the shaft is right up there amongst a lot more expensive glass. There are some owners, myself included, that would be happy to pay more and get a quality grip. Tim Rajeff really needs to think about it. With the Epic rods, you pay a bit more, but you are assured that you are getting the very best of components. Cheers
On the fly or not interested.
