Wanted to report on this rod as it was the first rod I have ever bought sight unseen. I have one of the Lexa Flippin sticks and really enjoy this rod for brush hogs but wanted a spinning rod for light applications this winter....drop shot...small shakey heads etc. Well....this rod is a 7' 2" med light that has a TON of backbone.....a TON. It's rated for 4-12 but this rod has some serious shoulders. At least for this guy. Used the rod with eight pound power pro and a 6 lb silver thread leader and caught the tar out of the big smallies yesterday and only broke one off on a hook set so was a good day. Believe come spring may use this rod for a larger shakey heads as it will fill the bill nicely. Anyway love to start fishing with a new rod and it catches first time out....yup...really do.
