Has anyone used this rod a bunch? Would like to know how it fishes compared to a LT Big Nasty. Mainly would want to use for 10's. Thanks in advance

todd,
you'll enjoy using it every cast you make. a bit diff. than the big nasty. lighter though in actual weight not as much as you apparently feel or experience. faster,quicker on the cast and when generating hooksets is how i can best explain it. you will notice it immediately. the power and taper is diff also. just a bit less and quicker. for a 9' # 10 rod as you indicated i dont own a better blank.
if you are still using long direct connection leaders you'll have to go to a FG knot or hollow core connection line like seagur threadlock as the tip top 5-6 guides are very small.
is it for everyone economically?,probably not,but for a guy who likes the best equip and can afford it if he wants it you'll be happy with it im sure.
