Please don't take this as spam as it was meant more as an achievement and will put it in the Popping Hall of Fame when I have all the details.

It was sent to me from our SynitUSA agent Mike Accatatto (Silver335). Needless to say he is absolutely stoked for one of his customers to make the cover of a big name US fishing mag as it's a bit like winning the lottery...
Shown is Derek holding his Synit PE3 Topwater rod and Marlin he landed on it. A great pic of a good fish on light tackle...
 
I'm pretty stoked as well just quietly...

Shimano 8000SW with SOM spool and arm.... he has another Custom PE3 rod on order with us to match Mahi Mahi colours so I guess that it will be used for chasing Mahi Mahi...LOL

Very very happy with the Razar PE3 light topwater rods Jon but we see the MACX (Multi Axis Carbon/Xantu) and XPT (Expedentual Progress Taper) mandrel technology in the Van Diemen X13 as the future direction for Synit in these light rods..
