Hi Nick my name is Mark Faria. I live on Cape Cod, MA. I mostly fish the Cape Cod Canal.  This photo is my best canal striper from 2013. I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with my Breakaway LDX. It is truly a long distance extreme caster. It works a pencil popper real nice, and its a great fish fighter. I constantly cast a surface plug well over 100yds.

I hooked this fish at over 100yds out in a 4 knot current and I never thought the rod would break. Since I watched your casting video and put your techniques into practice, I’ve  really elevated my abilities.

Thanks Nick for building an affordable high performance surf rod, Mark.

Thanks for the report and great picture Mark.
