Featherweight but strong

Putchased this rod as a designated Blackfish rod. I paired it with an Accurate Valiant 300. The total package is super lightweight, while retaining enough backbone to pull fish out of the structure easily. I will probably use this for Fluke and Sea Bass as well. Not cheap, but a high quality rod.
Pros
- Very lightweight, strong backbone.
Cons
- Price point is high, but was able to purchase when TD had a 20% off sale, that made it more reasonable.

Pros
- Great for deep water bottom fishing when 10+ ounces is necessary

Very nice rod , excellent finish, filling, sensitivity , power , nice cloth cover. I use it for deep water fluke, definitely recommend for black fish,sea bass and can handle easy blues and decent stripes . I gave 4 stars because weights 8.8 oz not 8oz and there's no information about their guides used. Highly recommended.
