I didn't even consider this rod, until I fished it. I didn't want an 8 and a half foot long, single piece rod, it was not what I wanted to live with. I fished a friends, and I was "hooked." The rod is light (for it's size) and will cast a large lure without issue. Plenty of feel, nice cork, and I like the blue. I know that it's not the easiest rod to move around, but, as a tool, it's well worth it.

Very impressed with the quality of the rod. Was looking for something that had a strong backbone for deepwater fishing that could also handle larger inshore fish. This rod does both.

I use for deep water togfishing & cod,polock fishing.
really light, senstive but amazing lifting power rod, also rod is not much stiff like other musky rod.
