Battling
Brutes
We were torturing Mekong catfishes
using the 6-14lb medium powered
model. The Elite has enough power
to manage them thanks to its graphite section. We forced the rod really
hard to see its curve.

Understandably it doesn’t curve well
as the fibreglass tip is soft and it stiffens up as we reach the graphite section. The area where the ferule is
located is stiffer and that too is less
flexible, still it has very good lifting
power and it fights really well.
