Pros & Cons

Great surf rod. The craftsmanship is top notch. No stiffness nor any cracks have happen. Uses top-tier components.
Light, sensitive and strong. Powerful and graceful like a ballerina. Great for pencil poppers for strippers.
The rod is paired with a penn 6500 spinfisher spinning reel. It excels casting, casting reel or spinning. Bought this to pair with a daiwa bg 3000 series reel for an obx surf-fishing trip.

Top quality, super light, and a great product overall.
I'm sure it would be a great surf rod for big fish or striped bass with the correct specific model.

My saint croix legend is better overall, it has a stronger backing, but its 3x the price.
Competitiveness
Paired with a diawa bg, couldn't be happier.
Cast a 3oz weight 75-100 yards est, smooth and looks good too.
Matched to my daiwa saltist 15 p conventional, it sings with a 9strand 30lb braid.
A baitcaster doesn't need a large guide so i bought it.

I wanted a surf rod that would work with my komodo baitcasting reel and saw reviews that mentioned their spinning reels did not perform well and the line was wrapping around the first line guide being too small
