Yes, they are awesome unbreakable rods. Dave mercer convinced me on that, he caught a 200 lb shark with it. Have it in a 7' MH, hard to find but worth it.

I was almost talked into getting a few when I talked to dave mercer in calgary but I didn't like that the eyes were made more for mono and floro rather then the ceramic eyes for braid. I fish all braided lines so I passed on that for now. They are an amazing rod though.

I'll have to check closer, but the new version of them this year (2010) have better eyes, and designed for power pro.
