Update. Almost a year later. 1st of all thank all of you for your input. This was an incredible light, sensitive rod and versatile rod. From weightless to bottom contact. Imho best trig senko rod in the planet if you put sunline nylon amazing fluke rod. Wacky rig I would choose the 2 power rod over this but it would still get it done. Handled 1/4oz shaky heads +plastic beautifully. Finesse C-rig worked pretty good. Even performed with 1/2 oz tungsten and 10 inch worms! Got in a pinch last week and even chucked 1/2oz traps and yo-yo back to the boat. Only negative I can think of is I now want Nrx 822s dsr, 852c, 823s shr, 873c car etc...lol
