Its the first one I've owned with a Little Gator/Chinaman cross. Definitely like Chinaman blood as I've used it before. But didn't know much about Little Gator stuff personally. No hands on so to speak. All I knew is that folks where running it out west and in Mexico and having success with it. TG offered a good deal...so I took it. Didn't know anyone else in the U.S running it either. So far I'm happy with him. He's still young though.
