I bought this exact rod for fishing Lake St Clair. Probably had a lot to do with its development. Anyway, At first I wasn't much on it but after fishing with it a lot it is my go to spinning rod. Around here (MO) I fish mostly shaky heads, 5" senkos texas rigged, drop shot a little, small jigs, tubes, and some other smaller finesse baits. I have a 7'1" 752 Glx I rarely use anymore. The control and castability of this rod is excellent for me. I fish some extremely clear water and that extra length really helps the cast distance. Fishing a senko is almost too easy. The length I feel gives me a lot more control over a shorter rod with less flex.
Roadwarrior has fished with me while using this rod. I threw it almost all day at KY lake last year shaky heading.
