Doug,
I’m not sure what your comparing to for your weights…
It’s a very sensitive rod with a tip that is stiffer then a noodle.
the top 6″ are very fine and then leads back into the back bone.. I fish a lot of spoons with it for panfish and perch.. I have also caught several bass on it that taped out at close to 18″..
Dave I am interested have some questions about the rod.i am located in Cuba City,wi give me a call 608-732-8998 or post a number I will give you a call thanks
