Cousins Tackle Rods

[RyanDR]

Does anybody have any experience with these rods? They look pretty solid but not too much info on them out there.

They're mostly known for their saltwater stuff but started making freshwater rods the past couple of years.  I believe they're an actual Made In The USA company, and their saltwater rods are well regarded...not buying junk for sure.

I primarily use the Cousins Raze series freshwater rods. I really really like them and I have 5 so far, I have a couple saltwater sticks of theirs too and love em. The blanks are handmade and wrapped in Huntington Beach, CA. 

What do you want to know?

Cousin's rods are absolutely amazing to use for practically everything.  I own three of there IM8 series casting rods and they are great rods but they are on the more expensive side of things.

Do you use anything in the light to ultra light range by them?

I use the RDS701S which is a light power 7' spinning rod. I use it for 6lb drop shot, thin senko, underspin, etc. and it works really well. The rod is pretty sensitive and has a real nice bend to it when fighting the fish.
