Previous Feedback
Comments: Picked up the 6'10 ml spinning rod for 100$ during the Xmas sale. Was very surprised at how nice of a rod it is. The reel seat is a little bulky but other than that it's very nice. I have a problem when it comes to buying high end spinning rods I have over 20 from multiple manufacturers And price points from 200-760$. This is actually the first rod I've bought for 100$. I love spinning rods I'm a die hard finesse guy. Always looking for better, lighter, more sensitive, etc. I would say this rod plants somewhere in the gcx/ imx category. The price point at 240 is probably fair but if you can get it for 100 then I'd definitely recommend it.
