The Silstar Power Tip I have is the black with Red trim. On the base of it reads "worlds strongest rod." Which the rod is awesome, but I think that is far fetched. I think all manufacturers have along way to go when it comes to comparing to an Ugly Stix, which in my opinion is infact probably the strongest rod ever to have had a reel mounted to it.
I'm actually rewrapping the rod myself. I got some great info on the rod building message board and i'm going to utilize it when the time comes. I've already told the Mod on that board that I was going to take before and after pic's of it and post them on the site. I'll keep you posted on my selection when the time comes.
The hard part is finding the time. I always say i'm going to start the rod, but I never get around to it. I need to pick a day and just go for it.
As for not trading a particular reel for anything, that would be my Abu's. Those Swedes sure can make a reel. [cool]
