I use the 16 foot one Eddie. They are a nice rod. Eyes are a bit on the light side. I have managed to bend two eye frames without knowing why. Excellent distance with the longer rod with an overhead thump and bite dectection is excellent.

What type of fishing will you be using the rod for?

Wouldn't call the blank extra thick, but I suppose compared to the rods produced in the last couple of years it could be seen that way. :|
