Has anyone had a throw with the Extreme Titanium, Blue Metal Extreme, Team Extreme 16'8, or the 18' LDC?

If so could you report what you's think, Im definitely going for another K2, Just don't know which one yet!

of course i will! even the rod bag is great! there are a quite few situations that i am sure it will supercede my standard beachcasters on when put to the test. i can't wait!!! might pull a sicky tomorrow!!!

Aren't these rods designed for the large man who can't pendulum?

i got my for use with different fishing methods. any rig over 9' is very awkward with a standard beachcaster. also the softer models go easier on baits. less bait stress when seeking a little extra distance. lobbing maddies and the like is made much easier.

a slow, gentle swing works well with the K2 and it's better than a standard overhead. shakespeares LDC is a long rod designed for powercasting
