I agree with Charles. I had the same problem as you when I first fished my Millennium Rod built by Rodmaker but now that I'm
aclimated to it switching back and forth with my other rods isn't bad. I do find I use my custom rod the most though. Maybe
someday I'll be able to afford another. Doc

everything is NOT a good thing.

I have an All Star with PowerPro that is incredibly sensitive. Too much at
times, even with mono line. Once you get used to it though, you learn what
to identify what you are feeling. Just like the first time you picked up a
Loomis, Craig.

That must be a hell of a rod you have there!

Well, you might be glad to know that there is a point where you can have
too
much sensitivity. I had a dream rod and reel made for me. I spent a few
hours today fishing with this ultimate combo. I have to say there is feel
and then there is too much. Call it sensory overload.

Everything is amplified to the point where you cannot tell what you are
feeling because you are feeling everything way too much. I'm sure I
missed
some strikes today because right now I cannot tell what the hell I am
feeling. Was that a blade of grass or tree branch.

The question becomes do you totally retrain yourself for this one rod, or
shelve it as a collectors item and stick with your lesser rods? Could be
quite a strain on the O'checkbook to own a whole arsenal of these puppies.
