Comments: I'm gonna be real, this rod can definitely compete with other rods in its price range. Would I pick it over a daiwa tatula, or a shimano curado? personally no, but this rod definitely is no slouch. The sensitivity on this rod is pretty good for its price range, but I really do believe that it loses some sensitivity because of the guides. The blank itself is a quality blank but these guides kind of kill it. I mean you still feel enough but if it had a better guide train then it would be a lot better (but also a little more expensive). Weight and balance is pretty on par for rods in this price range. Honestly I find the handle really ugly, they're not uncomfortable by any means they're just ugly. The rest of the rod looks pretty good but the handle is just uhh yeah... but that's just me. These rods don't compete with $300+ rods, or at least the ones I own in my opinion (Megabass orochi, p5, G loomis NRX, Daiwa Steez, Dobyns Champion, Xtasy, and shimano exp ride). But they are a quality product. Would I buy another one, no because I enjoy other rods from other companies more, but if someone wanted to buy one and thought it was great I wouldn't blame them because they are good quality, just not my taste. If they changed the guides and put on grips similar to the NRX or Steez, then in my opinion it would make the rod feel and look a lot better. But for what it is already, it's not a bad choice. The last thing I'm going to be picky about this rod series is that at least for the spinning, they need more models, I understand that a lot of the googans are more big bait, heavy rod, power fisherman. But if they made more spinning rods similar to a 872 NRX, p5 windbuster, 7'6 Steez, or at least more models in different lengths, powers, and actions. I'm sure they'd do really well and would actually be pretty good rods. Long but wanted to be honest with my experience, I was curious because I followed a lot of the googans before they even met each other and when they released a product like this I wondered how good could they actually do and well they definitely did a pretty good job.
