Shimano Intenza

I just picked up a 6'9" M Intenza casting rod. Anyone have this rod or have any reviews?

I have it. I use it primarily for jerkbaits and it loads great and will help cast a 110 a long ways which I prefer because I try to get them to depth with those first couple cranks. It would also be fine for cranking in open water. Grip material is not uncomfortable, it is just different and takes a little bit to get accustomed to.

I was thinking of using it both for jerkbaits or light finesse-type jigs for river smallies and maybe as a wading rod for river smallies with topwater, small jigs, shallow cranks, etc.

What’s weight of the rod?
