Joker, is the Vega truly pretty much spot on compared to the RS 1508/1509.....from my personal experience the 1508 is a great 8nbait rod but when you go to 10n bait you need to have the 1509 in your hands....

The L is a lot more powerful then a rs 1508, it'll easily throw 12 and bait

The Vega h will throw even more

UGHHHH...at my age I find it hard to truly load a 1509 any more to do the rod justice. At least for a long day of fishing I can't. That's why I love the forgiving nature of the 1508. I appreciate your insight.I had hoped the 12 ft dagger would do it but its just not got it past 6-7nbait , at least it doesn't for me. GREAT pomp rods though.

have you taken a look at rod geeks, they're super light and don't hurt the wallet as much as a cts.

Picked up a 1305 blank.

Not sure if you know it or not, but Penn does have some nice new 4.2m and 4.5m rods out, and I do believe there’s quite a selection of them!
They’re just not released over here in the US, not sure if they will be either!
Look up the new Penn Tidal Series at Tradeinn, they actually look pretty nice too!
Definitely thinking about trying one out!

Will do!
