Good things come to those who wait.
"I was a hugh fan of the tidemasters series, but once they discontinued them, I was disappointed. Switched to the avids which are also amazing rods and have been using them on my charters for the past several years. Once I got word they were coming back out with the new tidemasters I had to get some. 8 in total. I have been using them for the past week or so and thay are amazing. Lightweight strong, and built well. Their dense cork handles are killer. Nit to mention all thier Fuji guides and reel seat. I highly recommend you get some."
