The daiwa supercast is an excellent rod, i have been using the STS13PM for all my beach fishing. It is capable of casting 6oz and mackeral flapper with ease. The STS13PM is rated at 4-8oz and is ideal for areas with a strong tide.
The bite detection is also very good, on the STS13PM it has a stiffer tip which allows more sensitive bite detection in flood tides. However ...
Advantages: multiplayer, quick action, variety Disadvantages: UT 2007 is on its way, can get repetitive
Being a fan of the Unreal Tournament for more than 6 years, I considered it as my responsibility not to miss anything which comes in the Unreal series. It is the same reason that lead me to upgrading my PC and later into Unreal Tournament 2004 years ago. But I completed the game in a week and uninstalled it, but only to realize that I got rid of it too early. Any game of the Unreal series won't be able to go off a gamer's mind too easily, and UT 2004 is just another example of that. What this game has proved is that the Tournament will live forever, and UT 2003 was nothing more than a sample of what was to come. UT 2004 makes its predecessor look like a demo version, as both games look somewhat similiar in graphics.

Unreal Tournament should be considered as the game which changed the entire concept of First Person Shooting games. It is also the game which might have made the online gaming more popular. There may be people who wants to disagree with that atleast upto an extent, but its true in my case. UT was the first game which I played online and also through LAN. I had my own problems while playing the game online with my very slow net connection and also as I didn't have many of the maps which those servers were using. But it was one of the best experiences once I started playing. Being addicted is the word, as I couldn't resist it even during my final exams. The number of reviews already written on the game shows the popularity of UT.

Maybe the fact that when the freespool is on you have to turn the reel handle a full 1/2 a turn to engage the clutch. Can be a bit daunting when you first start using the reel and your used to picking up the rod and striking before reeling in. (*)
