Surprised - in a good way

First time buyer of a Diawa rod hoping the quality matched the reviews and reel quality. It did. Paired w/ Daiwa 2500, this is now my favorite surf fishing rig. First time out, nice feel and overall experience (rays, <7 # fish). Will test it on larger fish (hopefully) next trip to the OBX.
