I got the 9'6MH 2-6oz and paired it up with my slammer 4 5500. This rod is too heavy wish it was lighter since the slammer itself is 20oz+ I can only do 7 cast until my wrist wears out.

I like my tica tc3 9ft 2-6oz better. It has better finesse even though it's shorter and rated the same. The tip of the rockaway is too thick to jig with if you want slight finesse. The read more tc3 is also much lighter

If you planning on buying this rod, don’t waste your hard earned money with it. Purchase this rod on Nov 2021, first outing second cast with a 11 ounce sinker. This rod blew out on me. It’s rated up to 16oz lure weight, so 11 oz shouldn’t be a problem.

It's nice to see a reasonable priced rod in a market of overpriced gear. This is a great looking rod and does exactly what I need it to do. Paired it with a saragosa 5000 it's a perfect match!

Very Beautiful. Very Powerful.
