[@MatthewHKnight]

Lol $200 rod. You can honestly catch the same fish on any 5000 model reel combo when it comes to snook and tarpon. Ace Hardware on San Carlos Blvd has a few rods for $100 less. Never heard of Calusa Custom Rods and I live near Cape Coral however their company is more South Fort Myers area it looks.
