Comments: I have the 7'6 Light Fast model and here are my thoughts: The guides are spaced with dropshot in mind, so this is the main technical focus for this rod. It also comes with a hook keeper for your drop shot weight. It loads up and casts weights up to 1/2oz, but 3/8oz is the max I would use. 1/4oz weight seems to be the sweet spot. Absolutely launches your baits or lures, especially if you're using braid. The action of this rod is somewhat similar to a megabass whipsnake if you've ever used one. The bend is very parabolic and bends through the reel seat and the butt section of the rod. This makes it suitable to drive smaller hooks home through a fishes mouth. As for power, I've never had an issue pulling in fish but it does fish on the lighter side. You will struggle if the fish gets caught in grass or kelp. It's a solid drop shot rod for fishing bays for spotted bay bass or other sand bass. I wouldn't use it for anything heavier but it does the job quite well for the smaller fish. Sensitivity is okay so long as you're paying attention but nothing to write home about. What this rod does very well is help you reach faraway spots where fish may be located and bring them home. 8/10 rod would buy another if it breaks!

Comments: I own both the 9'0 ML and 9'6M. I use the ml for dropshot and the Vision 110 (specifically) and it handles both well. I have caught halibut, barracuda, corvina, and whiteseabass in the socal harbors and surf and the backbone on the rod has never failed to impress me. The rod is both light and sensitive considering it's lower price point and I honestly feel it the perfect bang for the buck. The 9'6 M fishes fine but it feels a bit to whippy at times and can become cumbersome after a while. I normally only bring it out whenever I am fishing in larger surf and casting heavier sinkers and lures in the 1 oz range (although the rod does handle lighter lures and sinkers such as the 3/8 decoy tx). The 9'6 does a great job at horsing in the big ones though. Both have their place in my arsenal, and I am sure you could find a place for them in yours. Also, the cork looks cool on both but it is the cheaper stuff.

Comments: I got the 7'6L, 8'3ML,9ML,9M. The 7'6 bends through the butt and reel seat. Good freshwater rod up to 3/8 oz max. Would not advise using it for surf unless you are going for snappers. Has very small guides on the top half. The 8'3 is the favorite of the bunch. Good size guides. Nothing special about the guides they are exactly the same as on the 9s. Not sloppy and recovers pretty fast. Will handle up to 3/4oz. Was able to beat a 30lb+ cow nose ray on with with a stradic 3000 fl. The 9ML is a little long for the action and a little wobbly. Not great for jigging but if you are slinging metal up to 1oz this is a rocket launcher. The 9M is pretty much the same as the 9ML except it has a beefier backbone but the tip is very similar to the 9ML. Good all around surf rod but feels heavier than the 9ML even though it's still just under 5oz.

Comments: Got the nine ft medium light mated to a stradic fl 5000 perfect for striped bass. Pretty strong for a medlight rod. Jigs bait whatever floats ur boat. From: Kiwi: California 4/24/21
Comments: AMAZING! I have the 7'6 light rod and I use it for freshwater. Trout, crappie, bluegill, and bass. It handles it all. Pulled in a nice 6lb largemouth with no problem. Very sensitive to bite and I love that. Super light as well. The back bone to these rods are super. I recommend this rod you won't regret

Comments: Excellent rod series. I use the 8'3 ML (jerkbait special) for bombcasting large husky jerks and smithwick for walleye on the Lake Erie shoreline at night during the fall and winter. Not exactly the intended species, but the specialized guides were built for jerkbaits and it really does help get every bit of distance on each cast, which is huge for windy shore fishing. It's also sensitive enough that I can feel the crankbait wobble when my hands are frozen.From: Brian: Cleveland 11/2/20Comments:I bought the 9' medium spinning rod from TW. And love this rod! Catching 19"-29"striper schoolies is fun on this light rod. If they made a Medium heavy spinning rod I would buy it in a heart beatFrom: Unknown: 8/2/20
Comments:Got the 9'6 M. Not bad for the price, throws 1-1.5oz very well, all the way to 2oz. A little underrated, but throws lower range as well.From: Sumo: San Francisco, CA 12/23/19
