Super lightweight and thin. But stronger than I thought. I can cast a 150g jig

I use it for southern CA Bottom fishing mostly. Super lightweight and thin. But no twist at all. S64ML feels like H or XH to me. 2X harder than SALTIGA slow 61M(Max250g). Maybe good for Yellowtail or small Tuna such as speedrunner. I use the Stella C500XG with a 30lbs PE line.
