So today I replaced the 17' radiator of my wire vertical with a 102" piece of wire, took it outside with my NanoVNA pretty quickly found the new tap positions for 20 and 30 (ran out of time to find 40) and Bingo, it resonates with a near 1:1 SWR on both bands

A light rod isn't everything, but it sure is nice

I grew up fishing mostly bass in New Yorks Finger Lakes region, shorecasted and spearfished for saltwater species while living in Hawaii, and now I fish almost exclusively for trout in Colorados Rocky Mountains

Dont let the carbon fiber blank fool you though, this rod is far from weak

It's pretty affordable compared to overall costs for those going on fishing expeditions or vacations, but those new to fishing might also need to stretch their budgets to include reels, lines, and tackle
