I've never written a review so I'll keep this brief and to the point (I hope).

I received the Carolina Rig rod and have had a chance to take it out a couple of times. 

Initially, I was most impressed with the weight of the rod.  It is incredibly light compared to the rods I currently own. 

The lake I used this rod on didn't necessarily set up for a c-rig, so I initially began fishing it as a worm rod (t-rig). 

After recognizing the lightness of the rod, I immediately noticed the sensitivity.  Combined with a tungsten weight, I was in awe of the feeling with the rod.  I could feel the weight slowly sliding down a rock and the bluegill hits were magnified.

I later set up the rod as a c-rig and continued to notice the same sensitivity.

I did manage to catch a fish on the t-rig and found the rod to have a good back bone and good play in the rod tip.

Needless to say, I give this rod two thumbs up and would certainly recommend that anyone looking to but a new rod check out the Pinnacle line.  Speedbead was with me on the second trip out and can verify the lightness of the rod and the amount of times I commented on the sensitivity.

I am looking forward to checking out his swimbait rod.

Thank you Pinnacle for this great contest, opportunity, and great fishing rod.

WOW!

Great review.

I hope mine is here before Saturday.  I would like to throw some wakebaits early morning...

The rods are impressive in person. Definitely more noticeable features than I was expecting (no offense to Pinnacle).  The fit and finish of the rod is very, very nice.

Looking forward to throwing the big bait stick.

I hope you guys bring these on our meet up I want to see them. All the reviews I have seen sound like they are a good rod!
