If you're looking for premium workmanship look at Predators, Strykers and Starguns.

Also look into a Monkeymade, nice solid built antenna
I run one on my big rig, it gets banged around but still holding up. The stinger or whip is pretty darn thick. Matches up pretty good uppers & lowers

Bad impedence and poor wave length for all Monkey Made antenna's.I tested them on my MFJ antenna analizer.Killer craftmenship and quality but poorly designed.Look into the Striker or a 55 antenna if you want something that looks simalar but has been designed properly.Iam not fimilar with any other custom stuff but Iam shere there is more that's on the money as well.Good luck!Dozer

Hmmmmmm,i been running a Monkey Made MM4 for over a year now.I own 2 MM4's and a MM5,i tuned them with a MFJ-259B and i dont see nor detect any bad impedence.I did however lengthen the stinger to obtain a 1.1:1 SWR.Impedence is 50ohms exactly.I was sold on a Wilson 5000 until i tried the MM4.I dont even own a Wilson now,lol...Not doubting you,just letting you know my expierence with them. :-)
