Ive had a number of rods over the years, but these tec specs are the best you can find under$100 I tried a 6' with UL reel for worm fishing and the sensitivity was amazing with good backbone. Landed many bass around 3 to 5lb range on the 6' rod .. It outperforms my bucoo falcons that are $129.00 I was so impressed after the first few months I bought 3 more including a baitcast rod. I now have the 6' , the 6'6" and the 7' spinning rods plus the 7' casting rod.
