I hear good things about the reels but what about the rods.. I was thinking about getting the 8ft H for a-rigs seeing if anybody has any experience with this particular model

Had one for heavy flipping. Good rod, eye inserts aren't the best. Ran 65lb straight braid. Busted a few out. Would buy again for the $52 I spent on it. The aird x gets lots of praise for a bit more coin

I have had the same issues with eye inserts after only a day on the water with 40 lb braid on the 7’3” H. In my opinion the Tatula series is one of the best values for rods right now along with lots of rods at the 100$ price point. The Fuego was light and plenty sensitive but I can’t recommend it after seeing so many people that have had broken guides.
