Great rod.
Mine get used every weekend, not sure I would like to stand in the surf holding for to long though. Given mine a lot of abuse over the years and they have stood up well. Had them both rebuilt a couple of times mainly due to damage from them falling over/getting dropped/bashed on rocks. Had new fuji green rings fitted as they are a lot more durable. Learnt my lesson the hard way lost a fantastic fish due to the mainline breaking, checked it afterwards and found loads of damage on line caused by a cracked ring.
