I was able to use my new 300e a couple times already. I am using it for my Lunker Punker and love it! Now I just need to get a Striper to demolish it, and I'll be in heaven. :P

As for my 200e5, it is still sitting in the box. I think it's been about a month and a half or two months now. I can't wait to try it out though for Stripers this fall. I'm debating what to rod to pair it with at the moment. I think I want to pick up a 200e7 as well. I already feel my wallet getting lighter. :-)
