You're right Darren, Scierra made a series with titanium. I still own one, it's gathering dust in my "hobby"room...when I still was trying to outcast other anglers I used this 10' #7 beast (which easily casts an 8 and even a 9) to do the job until it saddled me up with a tendinitis that took 6 months to cure (I'm not even sure it's totally cured now
). Now that might not be the rod but me, but it has so much power I broke two tips at the ferrule during casts. Scierra each time changed them with reinforced ones, apparently the first tips were built too weak for the action. Since then I learnt it's not force that makes you (or the rod
) cast far. I can still cast a decent distance if I want to but with all types of rods and I tend to stay clear from the stiff or "fast" ones (at least in one hand rods
). Hence the dust on it
