So, after all that information and the deluge of "I'm right, you're not" ego, is the voting still goin on and/or is there a winner?

Well, judging by the Results Tally at the top of the page, it looks like TALON is the "Leader" ( by Name ), so far . . . HOWEVER, "Other" is the "Winner", at this point - LOL !

I'll throw another "Other" name into the hat, JEFF ANDREWS . . . The Hawaiian guys will know the name instantly !

I personally have had good luck with my XH nitros. They are customed wrapped and have been fished for about a decade fairly regularly and have proven to be solid, may not say they are the best blank but cant complain. I also have seeker, fenwick and Hawaiian angler poles, I've been happy with.

Does anyone remember the manufacturing date of this Hawaiian Angler made for Izuo Bros by Seeker? I'm thinking 70's-80's but not sure.

As a follow up . . .

From the thread at this link, it appears that Jeff Andrews passed away a few years ago. The information is supplied by "MAKAI", who claims to be Jeff Andrews nephew.

Just read thru this. Wow. In answer to the question about the seeker they weren't around in the 70's. If I was a betting man I'd say that's a seeker 10' ulua that they made a 4' extension for that fit on he butt end for ulua fishing in Hawaii   They still sell a ton of ulua blanks but not sure if they still make the extension. They came in straight fiberglass or in combination with graphite at the butt end. Late to the party but hope that helps Wailua boy. Still fish the heck out of those seeker uluas
Do what you can with that you have where you are
