Someone else mentioned it already, but years ago after Fenwick discontinued the Elite Tech Smallmouth line, I picked up a 6'10" MHMF casting rod for something like $55 from FFO.  That thing, to me, anyway, is an absolutely perfect Whopper Plopper rod.  Doesn't matter if I'm throwing the 75, 90, 110, or 130.  It will launch them all, and once a fish is on, it stays on.

Hey! I have this rod and several others in the Smallmouth series.  The 6'10" MF is a favorite of mine.

 

I've been trying to think of one of my rods that is excellent, but not owned by everyone and their brother.  Possibly the Okuma Helios 7' MF qualifies.  Very light yet fishes weights beyond its rating.  TT gave it a "Great".  I really  enjoy my Rainshadow RX7 7' MHF.  Probably not a lot of those around either.  Very sensitive rod for its price.

When you mentioned that it was very unique more than once.  Unique by itself means "one of a kind."  Something is either unique or it's not.  There is no degree to unique.  I was just trying to bring some clarity to the discussion of the action of the rod.  Getting "technical" might bring some objective descriptions into the discussion.  Sorry if I offended.  

 

It's a good string, good subject, glad you started it.  Again, sorry.

I appreciate the apology. Through text it is easy to take people the wrong way and I clearly did. Sorry for my part in the misunderstanding.
