Great workmanship, real cork handle. Pure power, yet feather light.
Tossed and 1/1/4 oz bait with ease. Mini guides, but I'm going to run straight braid, so that isn't a problem for me. The reel seat allows for direct contact with the blank and is very comfortable
The ferrule is odd in that the tip is the male section, but it doesn't affect the action or feel at all.
Taks about 30 seconds to get used to.
