I second the emotion on the 8' Aurora. Tougher than any 8'er I've handled, can chuck anything but the Mag Dawg, and that it can do OK. Still alot of touch on the rod though from having more guides than the usual rod.

The rod was designed to sell for about $100 to $120. This price is arrived at by taking the wholesale and adding the standard distributor margin and the standard store margin. Discounted heavily the rod would sell for about $85.

Great rod for the money. You can throw pretty much anything with it, except for the light stuff. Great rod for big crankbaits and bucktails. Also a great topwater rod and trolling rod. I love mine.

David,
Check out Ebay, I have a bunch ordered, but don't expect them in until March.

Does anyone know the rating of this rod in relationship to the weights of lures? Could one, if so inclined, use this rod for heavier baits such as the Mag Dawgs or HR Shakers?

Thanks
