I haven't found much on them as far as research, mainly because everything i hear really isnt about the way they fish but cosmetics. I dont mind the looks of rods as i have st croix avid rods in pink that i got a real good deal on. I dont care for the way they look but it doesnt shake my confidence any,they fish great.I was mainly wondering about the application of the 6'7 light spinning rod wether or not it would be a good rod for charlie brewer slider heads in around 1/16 oz weights.
