WTB 12wt backup rod

[MJones]

Still looking. Ran across an outfit by the name of Mercari that is apparently Japan's ebay. Anyone had any dealing with them?

I've got an 11wt Scott Heli-ply if you could make that work.

My $0.02, but a 12 weight rod is one of those rods that you will use on tough fish that are known to be rod breakers. To that extent, I believe the lifetime warranty and customer service should be a consideration in rod choice. Not sure if Mercari will be supportive if you need that kind of service. In my opinion, starting with an 8 weight the warranty becomes more and more important as the line weights increase.

Just some things to consider.
