Used this rod for striped bass fishing on the coast. The action is smooth and the tip sensitivity helped detect subtle strikes. It held up well during a long fight with a 15-pound bass. No breakage even under heavy pressure.
Neil Davidson –
Great for throwing soft plastics and plugs. The casting distance is longer than expected. A bit stiff at the start, but settles into a good rhythm after a few uses.

Solid performance in both casting and fighting. Works well with 4oz line and handles big fish without losing control. Slightly heavier than other rods in the same category.
