I’ve been fishing them for a while now and have been really happy with them. The ratings are true to what LDC says they are and action, taper and tip are different than the workshops. Great all around rods for soft and hard baits.
It’s a 1 piece rod with the ferruled removable handle is nothing like the 2 piece rods we had as kids. The ability to shorten the rod by almost 24 inches is really nice for putting them in cars, rod tubes (saved me on a trip to Japan earlier this year) or even smaller rod lockers. I also have some that I haven’t taken apart just leave them in the garage rod rack.
