Time to restart this thread.
I have a few US's .. I love them for freshwater fishing. But my favorite stick for chumming Bluefish is a Daiwa Beef Stick. Funny thing about the rod. I was on a night fishing party boat,..fella near me gets a strike, the rod snaps about 6" inches below the tip.... he gets the fish, takes off the reel, throws the rod on the deck... uses a rental rod for the rest of the night. As we're getting off the boat I pick up the rod and yell to him that he forgot his rod. He says throw the piece of s**t in the garbage. I take it home, cut off the jagged end just below the break, glued on a new tip, married it to a Daiwa 50H reel and it's been a consistent producer of fish ever since. Great action, strong enough backbone to horse in even the heavy 20 lb + chomper Bluefish.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
