Depending on what kind of hook set you use you have to be careful.. They are very light and sensitive but I have seen them returned at bass pro on numerous occasions for breaking on hook sets.. The old ones were very good rods and then e21 started selling a cheaper version that is half as good as the original ones.. One of my buddies that fishes at IU uses them and he loves them but he said he is getting tired of having to return them and get a new one...
So IMO they are good rods but don't handle a hard hook set well..
