Comments: Light weight rod but thats about the only good thing. This rod tears my fluorocarbon apart. Brand new and it literally shaves off fluro in every cast. Definitely returning.

Comments: Love the action of the 7'3MH but the guides are terrible and constantly fray my line. I have replaced three guides and only had the rod 9 months.

Comments: 6' 9" Medium Regular comes with titanium guides, is surprisingly lightweight compared to a Lew's Custom Lite, and legitimately way too sensitive for $80. The short handle is perfecting for walking the dog or twitching a jerkbait and it's a dream to use from the kayak. I'm considering adding a 2nd or 3rd for dedicated jerkbait and chatterbait duties. The 6' 9" HF for frogging and punching looks good too if it's as light as the medium.

Comments: I have the 7'3 mh. Great rod for texas rigs weightless senkos and flukes. What i love about this rod is its probably the best buzzbait rod I've ever used. Handle length is perfect tip and power section is spot on for MH. Only wish they had some 7 foot options.

Comments: Great rod for the value! I got the 7'3 Heavy for flippin and it works great. The only bad thing I can say about this rod is that I used 20lb Fluorocarbon and when you would set the hook and reel it would make a very loud and obnoxious sound when the line came through the guides. But I switched to braid and everything works great. I can even throw lures down to a 1/4oz which is awesome!

Comments: I love this rod! 7.3H. Appearance wise, the rod is black with reflective red when revealed in light. Tried using this rod for frogging but personally, I just can't seem to set the hook right with it so I switched it for jigs and works okay. The fast tip has good sensitivity. Would recommend for a $80 rod.

Comments: Great rod for the price. 7'3 heavy can throw 1oz swimbaits like it's nothing but still get decent distance on a 3/8oz jig. Very versatile with strong backbone and a moderately soft tip
