My wife bought me a new fishing rod for my birthday tomorrow. It's the 7'6" Heavy casting model. Seems to be well made and I'm anxious to put a reel on it and try it out. Anyone have one of these rods?

I have there 7 ft medium heavy,built well and really like it for plastics spinnerbaits and traps.I like the soft tip but when you pull the trigger it loads quick.Great rod

I have that rod in a 7'6" Med/Light spinning rod, which I use for slip float fishing for smallmouth with. Works beautifully. Well made too. I've only used it since last season, so I can't comment on how it will perform for a few more seasons yet.

I feel that the Shock rods are one of the best rods you can buy in that price range.   No complaints at all with mine.

 

The Lightning Shock series are very fine blanks

Great rods for the price. I have 2 7' M spinning, 2 6'6" M spinning, a 6' M casting and the 7'6" Heavy casting rods. The only rod I haven't used yet is the 7'6" but if it performs like the others then I expect it to be great also.

 

I think you will like it.

I have a 7'mf spinning for general purpose. Just bought the 7'mh, and will be mounting a Curado 201HG with 40# braid for spinners, chatters and frogs. 

I love the 7'6H. You can do almost anything with that rod...from swimjigs, frogs, punching, flipping, and large swimbaits!

Thanks for the comments. I put a reel on her today,filler it with fresh line and I'm ready to try this beast out. 

Great rod for a great price.The BLS get a TON of love on this forum.Throw a 7.3:1 Tatula CT on there and you have a great frog/flip/pitch/swimjig/light swimbait rod
