Ive got one in the shop here and by the feel of it, it seems like a great stickies rod. Bit too soft for chuggers. Will probably suit lures up to 120-140gm...and max PE8 (80lb)

There's two models available. 1pc or 2pc, butt joint. Very well built and incredibly light. Will make a great tuna rod as its quite parabolic when heavily loaded.
