Wow...interesting this thread was bumped today. I had a La Cuna Bin No 85 while fishing this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it. I picked up a gaggle of AJ's stuff a while ago, and at the time thought most was okay, but nothing special. It's been a while since had one of his sticks, and as I said, today's La Cuna was quite good. Maybe the rest did it some good?
