Comments: I have all three of these, and they continue to impress me. I use the 7'MH as a spinnerbait rod, and it's great. Also a good bubba shot rod for sparse cover. The H is a RAD swimbait rod for skinny dippers and other baits like that. Kind of not a true H action, but it is good. The longer MH rod is great for long casts with a fluke or senko type deal. Buy em!

Comments: I have used everything from g loomis NRX rods, Dobyns champ xp, and even made a few of my own, and this rod continues to impress me. hands down one of my favorite rods in the box right now. especially for the money. i have thrown frogs, mag drafts, larger spinnerbait, and swam a jig with the 7'2' H

Comments: I recently got into bass fishing heavier than ever and I needed to fill gaps in my line up and have access to multiple rods and actions. These rods were a perfect way to do that. Picked them up on sale and haven't looked back. I own a few nicer combos but for general purpose these cannot be beat. The blank fishes much higher price than it is IMO. I've got the 7' MH and 7'3 2 MH and the 7'2 H....the 7'3 MH being the most versatile, it has a great tip but tons of power too. The 7' MH feels border line M to me, but that is a good thing, can throw weightless fluke, etc. and have no issue. I am not saying I won't be buying nicer combos but I pick these up a lot. They will probably transition to saltwater setups and back ups in freshwater.

Comments: I have to disagree with the broomstick comment on the H action rod. For this price range, it's not bad at all. Honestly feels lighter in the tip than an old Powell Endurance I have in the same action. I'd have no problem fishing these as my main rods but they are awesome for loaners or backup equipment as well.

Comments: I bought the MH and the H to use as loan outs when I am out with friends. Love both of them. Very light though the heavy is a bit of a broomstick. The only thing I don't like is the micro guide they use for the tip. Kind of annoying if you're a braid to leader like most of my setups are.

Comments: Where was good, cheap (priced) equipment like this when I began bass fishing in 1993? This rod is well balanced, light, and sensitive. I needed a rod for fishing spinnerbaits and buzzbaits so I got the 7'MH. If they were not eating those two baits, I could stick a texas rig or weightless senko/fluke on there and be good to go. At these prices, load up! If you get a year or two out of a $50 rod, you got your money's worth.

Comments: Took trip to Texas. Purchased a 7ft and 7-3ft and was not disappointed, handled swim jigs, chatter baits, wakey senkos and jigs just as well as the more expensive rods in my boat. some more of these may end up in my boat soon, but next time I visit I know there are great rods to use again.

Comments: This is a rod that could easily be priced at double its retail and would still be a value. But at $60 nothing even comes close. Blank is fantastic, little lacking in the guides but nothing that's a deal breaker. The best rod for the money. I have 3 of them and throw them equally as much as I throw my Invoker Pros and Cobbs

Comments: You can't beat this rod for the money. I own 2 in the 7'0 MH and the 7'2 heavy I believe it is. I put these rods through heck and back almost everyday of the week. They are super light and hold up great. Sensitivity wise I'm not sure because I throw a frog and swim jig and chatterbait on mine, and they are all I wanted and more in a 60 dollar rod.

Comments: Picked up the 7'3 MH and it's all I wanted and more in a budget rod. Lightweight, sensitive, and strong! This rod was built for me, will be getting more for sure.

Comments: I bought the MH as an all purpose rod and it's great. Has a good backbone with a great tip. I can walk spooks with it easily and have no issues getting a good hookset and keeping the fish pinned. Light weight with a comfortable grip.

Comments: Wow, I have 3 other Ark rods and love them... But not this one, I bought a 7'2" heavy... And it is so tip heavy not sure I will use it again! Way, way out of balance! Ark sure missed it on this one...
