Anyone have this rod and can comment on what you throw on it and general impressions? Also, TW has it rated for 1/4-3/4 but Halo’s own site has it as topping out at 1/2. Yet it’s rated as a Medium Heavy. Most MH I see (and own) go to 3/4 ounce. So I’m a bit worried that this rod may be a tad underpowered for being an all-purpose rod (jigs, T-rigs, chatterbaits, etc).

Interested to see the responses.  I was considering it as a softer MH I could use for chatterbaits, but decided against it when I saw the weighting discrepancy on TW vs the website...

I would assume TW has it wrong and the Halo website is right, of course. TacticalBassin just posted a kayak video where he was using the rod to throw a 1/2 chatterbait and trailer. So I think you’re onto something about the softer action being useful for some applications. But that chatterbait plus trailer exceeds the rod’s top end (by just a bit; admittedly). So I don’t know….
