How is the St Croix rubber rod different from the Big Nasty?

Location: Price County WI		The new rubber has a 20" rear grip. The part of the rear grip right behind the reel seat where you had sits when casting is normal sized cork and then it tapers up to a big soft EVA grip the rest of the way back. Just an awesome rod for pulling big rubber. I was lucky enough to get to field test it last season and totally fell in love with the rod. I would let clients trow the nasty and then go to the new rod and they even would comment on how much better the new 9' Premier felt.

Here's a pic of mine, not the best but the reel seats on both rods are the same size so you can see how big the handle tapers out to be.
