To be honnest I dont.

But I know very welll the deep-rider version: JDR561S-8 (same 10kg drag). Not be compared, because seems to be very diferent rods, except the equal drag.

JDR561S-8 S 5'6" 1 168 100-300 PE3-6 10 495 3.0 8.6 193 85/15

It is a really nice rod for medium fish (up to 15/20kg, and no rocks above)... very forgiven, works jigs well up to (in my opinion) 220gr.
 
If you are interested in this rod. I could give more information.
