Best Rod At This Price point. Bar None
August 19, 2021
The 7'-2" MH is a true workhorse. It handles anything from 1/4 to 3/4 ounce with no issues. Spinnerbait, chatterbait, Texas rig, flukes...whatever. Although not ideal with that action, it even handles some treble hooked baits fairly well. Light, sensitive and (so far) plenty robust. It really does fish at least $100 above it's price point.
Pros
- light weight. Sensitive. Great looking Stick
Cons
- I don't have a complete arsenal of them!

Great feeling rod that’s considered glass
Cosmetics and looks of the rod are great
Rod is very sensitive for glass and loads very well to cast 1/4 -7/8 oz lures
Loads well catching fish as well gives the right amount for fish to really grab treble hook lures even for small fish

Crazy good jerk bait rod

This is honestly such a sweet rod for the money. Feels like air in your hands. No fatigue working a deep jerk bait. My favorite jerk bait rod of all my rods. I plan on buying a second just to have two baits choices.
Pros
- Feather light. Perfect tip. Perfect length. Reasonable price
Cons
- None

Freaking Awesome rod
November 30, 2019
Got the extra heavy casting will be using as my new frog rod. Can't say enough good things about the construction. Shimano definitely has stepped up their game over the last few years. Cant wait to purchase more. Will update the review after next seasons frogging.
Pros
- Quality components
