Waft venom.

Absolutely awesome blank.
Casts really well, little heavy action but can swing a Yellowtail
Guide layout very much a KR concept
Good rings on the guides but the rod definitely ups a notch in performance at the pricey upgrade to Fuji KR guide train.
Eli has one that he has fished standard and with KR layout and I've fished a number of times with Johan Beukes's one off the Island at Mazeppa

I'm nowhere near enigma's pedigree but what I can say is that it's an awesome rod. I have a slim line which I only use for eds but I can comfortably throw 6oz with biggish bait. Only small problem I had was the bottom reel clamp cracked because it's plastic. just somehow re-enforce that and you're good to go.
Don't take this the wrong way. But I thinks these rods are beautiful. My only issue is when I mention waft, always someone had a cracked reel seat. Many rod brands sometimes suffer defects. But why are these gorgeous rods seseptable to cracking. Like the earlier comment. Its kinda concerning to know that if I buy this rod I will have to worry about the reel seat. Or is it just me. Because I had the same issue with my waft iron feather paired with a fathom 15 and never over tightened it.I thought perhaps the venom is better in terms of that specific issue.
let me put it this way....
My cracked reel seat would have been too much of an effort to fix.Not to mention the cost of getting a rod builder to do the work. Cutting off butt section then having to replace and then rebuild butt.
I did a R2.50 McGuyver. Went to a motor spares place and bought a hose clamp. The kind with a screw in it to tighten on radiator hoses.
Now my venom works perfectly.
