Thank you!

Notice that the Medium will handle quit a bit above its rating.  Light at 3.4 oz., sensitive.  I liked mine well enough to buy a second one.

 

I'll give a shot and get one?

What reel will you be putting on it?  There are several combinations that will give you a combo weighing less than 10 oz.  total weight when spooled.

I'm thinking shimano SLX or Lew's tournament MB 

I've got a Helios and a few TCS, all very nice and you can find them well below listed price right now if you look around.

I ordered one from amazon once, the package arrived ripped in half and tapped together. Obviously the rod was broken when I got it, but it felt really nice. I got it super cheap too, but I blame both UPS and Amazon for it breaking. They packaged it in a 6x6 square box with no bubble wrap or anything to be found inside. Just thrown in there. Anyway I’m sure I would have loved the rod it was extremely light.
