Rated 5 out of 5Â by BigA3 Great Product
I bought a 7ft medium action for fishing a shaky heady.First day I took it out I caught a 6lb largemouth on a strike king river bug with ease. I own Shimano, St Croix, Daiwa, Bass Pro and Wright & McGill rods but for the money this by far is the best I have ever used! It has a slick look, amazing backbone, and great sensitivity/design. Only complaint I have, is the very last eye on most all of the rods in store Ive seen are slightly twisted, but when your using the rod you can't tell a deference.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by NICKinCO Guides too small
Bought this rod and returned it. It's balanced well, light, and feels great when jigging for bass, but the line guides were too small. When paired with my Shimano 4000 reel, the bail on my reel was too big for the lowest guide ring on the rod. When I cast, it sounds like a helicopter taking off as the line rubs the small guides. The added resistance here shortened my casts significantly. I tried my small Daiwa 1500 reel on it, and it had less "helicopter" effect through the guides, but it was still present, and still reduced casting distance compared to my other rod. This reel was too small for the rod anyways.
If you can actually go to a BPS store, I'd try pairing one or two of your reels with this rod and casting in the parking lot first. If repeated casting and distance isn't as important, its probably a great rod.
