Caught this 32" red fish Saturday November 10th at point comfort tx I was using a falcon 7'6" coastal xg rod paired up with shimano citica reel lure was strawberry/wht gambler flap n shad! Asoon the lure hit the water this red took off smoking the drag & sleigh ride in kayak was awesome .Thanks again for a fine fishing rod. Sincerely David a Dunham jr. Bloomington tx.
