Dover, you're right it is an ALLPRO rod. I always thought it was an All-Star. Didn't mean to set off the Loomis vs All-Star debate. Still I purchased the rod at Dale Hollow, heck I haven't even removed the plastic wrap from the handle of the rod. I paid $99 for the rod. I was going to Dale today but might wait til tomorrow because of the 10-20 mile winds. Don't mind the rain, hate the wind.
