Just so everyone knows. I just got my Snitch yesterday. This is one awesome stick! Took her out this morning and wacked some big gills, very very very very responsive tip. Super heavy backbone. So glad I went with this rod over the meatstick or ticklestick. Paired it up with a no 8 code blue reel w/ #2 Vicious panfish ICE. 4mm Warpath Tackle Tungsten Head & Warpath Tackle Itchy Bug plastic.
