Has anyone tried these rods yet? Its really hard to find any reviews on them. I've never tried anything from 13 and am curious about these rods

I have 2 13 Fishing Rods

Elite Chrome 6’10” spin ml and a 

Envy Black 7’11” Casting heavy flipping 

 

the spinning is nice although I haven’t used it much. I think it was $80. 
I really like the flipping stick but I wish it was a little shorter. I bought it unused for $100 but retail was closer to $300

edit: envy is going for 140 on amazon now so I might have been fed a line of bs

Thank you. I appreciate your input! Have you heard anything about the carbon fuse rods yet?

Sorry I haven’t. No reviews on amazon either. That is a pricey rod

Yeah that's what makes me nervous just to go out and buy one. There's a lot of other rods I could get in that price range. I just can't believe there are no reviews on em

There is a buyer review on Tackle Warehouse.

 

Reads a bit funny - don't know what to think.

I'll have to look at it. Thanks for letting me know

I think the Envy uses the same blank. You could probably take those reviews and get some idea how it'd fish. It should be quite a bit lighter due to the minimalist build. That alone should add some perceived sensitivity. The carbon handle design could offer some benefits as well. I don't know if it's worth the cost at retail, when you can get used NRX, Conquest, Zbone, etc., for the same or less, but I have no doubts that it performs well. 

I know. For the money I could almost get another steez or nrx or dozens of other high end rods. That's what makes me so hesitant. I always like trying new rods though. So don't know if I should take the plunge or not. But I really appreciate your input
