I used to have quite a few of them. Really liked the action of the rod. The takedown in my honest opinion is the better rod. The black and blues are not stainless eyes but chrome plated and wears off after time. For the money your getting more with the take down rod.

quantum big cat, surge trophy cat, shakespeare power rod, tangling with catfish rods, the original catfight rod.
bud there are lots of rods that are on par with the black and blue. not saying one is really better than the other but they are def as good as them

those are a production rod brother, not custom they just put that in the name. just like the ugly stick custom.
there are many other rods that use the exact same blank
