   I have it on a penn torque 15. These rods are the best. I usually use 3oz spider weights. I also have the 12′ casting and the 12′ and 9′ spinning. I have had no issues with any of them. I rinse the salt off after I use them. This one is 10′ medium cast. The 9′ spin and are medium and cast effortlessly. The 12′ are heavy and require significant ass to cast. Worth the money

   I ordered this rod a while ago, and it came quickly. To my surprise, when I opened the box there was no bubble wrap securing the bottom half of the rod (grip and reel seat half) which was disappointing, but I didn’t even get the whole rod! I ordered another with the money from refunding, so I hope it comes all together this time. Other than not getting the whole rod, I know these rods are good quality, and would recommend them to others if you can get your hands on one! Just be cautious with this supplier.

   This is one of the better 12’ surf rod blanks out there. You may think it’s a waste but we fish a differently in Hawaii.

   To me whatever guides or seat was on the rod didn’t make a difference. I look for light and stiff high mod blanks and sometimes it’s a completed production rod that has a good blank. You may think it’s counterintuitive to deconstruct the rod as it’s was engineered with the guides. That’s where views differ as we need a size 16 top ring to allow the rub line knots through and production rods don’t place the guides on the spline. They usually place the guides on the straightest part of the rod so it looks better. Stripping it down allows me to set the reel seat height to my liking and put the type and size guides that I want.
   Since this rod isn’t painted it’s very easy to strip it down and hide where the old guides were. It also comes out cheaper than the closest competitors blank that’s only matte clear coated. Matte coated will show any light scratches and wear down fast than something that’s glossy.

   This is my opinion of this rod. Your mileage may vary.

    I put a Penn Fathom 2 20lw on this pole and can reliably cast over 100 yards using a 6oz Sputnik sinker and 50lb braided line.
