I HAVE to di a review on these things. These are to me the best baitcasters i have ever used with a good price on em. The last time i bought me they were 50 bucks. I like to put ambassaduers on em ( no need to do a review on ambassaduers) The hold up rock steady at 7 ft. YOu get a great hook set with these rods with a good solid back bone. They make an awesome topwater rod, spinnerbait rod, and jiging rod. I have abused the rods and they take it every time. THey arent the lightest i ahve ever felt but they feel good in your hands. If i had the option between the rod and a g loomis i would pick this rod considering price isnt an option. That is how much i like em. Go check one out. you wont be dissapointed with this rod i will promise ya that. pair it up with a nice baitcaster and youll be set for three or four years through abuse and normal use it takes it. I had to give props where they were due.
