I recently went to my local bass pro to check out a couple of rods...this wasn't one of them, but I just couldn't put the rod down. It's a very unique rod it has a very dynamic tip and a pretty good amount of backbone in the last 1/3 of the rod, and with it's length it seems like it would work well for deep drop shotting, light shakeyheads, and dragging tubes.

Loomis rates it as a 3 power, but to me it feels much more like a 2 power butt section with a medium light tip and mid section; plus it's more of a mod-fast action IMO. To those of you who have used it what did you think? And for what techniques did you use it for?

Besides the aforementioned techniques I plan on using it to throw light finesse jig and porks 3/16 oz or less on the jig, 1/8 and 3/16 oz football and ball shakyhead jigs, spot remover (stand up light wire jigs) with just a pork trailer or a 4" chomper hula grub trailer, 4" senkos, light jerkbaits, etc...

Another question is with the slower action and lighter tip does this rod have the power to set the hook on jigs, and tex-posed plastics?

Thanks guys,

Sam

I don't have one but it sounds like a versatile rod. Tackle Warehouse's description says it's also good for light Carolina rigging as well. I'm planning on eventually getting a longer, all around MH powered spinning rod next year so let me know how then one performs on the water.

If you're looking for a true MH power this isn't the rod for you. It has some decent power but is a mod/fast taper closer to a popping blank but with more power in the very butt section of the rod. However, the first 1/2 of the rod is between a ML and a Medium power.
