I went on your site and did not see any Bois D' Arc swimbait rods. Just the standard H and Xh. Will you have any Bois D' Arc in XH anytime soon?
I'm looking for a 1-4 ounce swimbait rod. I have two custom Low Down Custom XH 3-8 ounce rods. One 8'6" mod/fast for trebles, the other 8' fast/fast for Hudd fishing style.
Are your ratings real world? I only ask because on my rods I can throw 8.8 ounce DRT ghots all the way down to 2.5 ounce glides well. Some companies like Dobyns are way over rated and can't handle the heavier side of their ratings. Feel underpowered and like they are going to break on a hard cast. Like your video states I like to bomb out my cast to get my lure as far away as I can.
