Comments: I love these rods..... And i cant say enough about how awsome there customer service is. I promise you will not regret buying a Shimano rod or reel.

From: Brandon: Janesville, WI

Comments: super light!  bought the 6'8'' ML for darter heads and small 3/16 football and ball head jigs.  it's etched as a fluke rod, which is ok, i'll use it for that too, although i like a M action rod for flukin.  It doesn't say that it's a fluke rod in the description.  Since they are technique stecific, I wish TW had that info listed in the description so we knew that when ordering.

From: Jeff: NJ

Comments: i love this rod, its the same blank as the cumara rod, i have it paired with a stradic c4 reel, its a super light weight combo, feel every bite!

From: Sebastian: Farmingdale, NY

Comments: Great rod for the money!!! Light, strong, and sensitive.  I have the 6' 8" MH fast action paired up with a shimano saros 2500 and it balances out perfect.
