The Hook Up has been running a 2 of 99.99 deal on on these rods for a bit.  I thinned my herd a bit too much this winter and needed a new magdraft/tournament rod.  Sensitivity is a non-issue for that bait so I could do without something expensive.  I've owned Combat Sticks, Levante and Orochi rods that fit the bill for frogs and Magdrafts. 

 

So I thought what the heck and ordered a 7ft5in H med fast (up to 2 ounces) and a 66 Mf spinning rod for drop shotting.   I've had them out a couple times...  the short?  No Brainer buy if they have a model you need. 

 

The Heavy is nearly identical in feel and performance to the 73Hmf Combat Stick.  Awesome for Osakana Slides and Magdrafts for basically 50 bucks.  The spinning rod feels nice and was plenty sensitive for drop shot or tiny jigs.  If you're on a budget or are being pragmatic, you are not making a mistake with these rods.

I'm up to 6 Major Craft rods now, and all of them punch way above their cost.
