Incredible rod,

Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money, strength
Disadvantages: rick clunn series is discontinued
"I just recently got this rod along with a Rick Clunn 7.1:1 baitcaster & strung it with 30# PowerPro.
I chose the 7' Spinnerbait rod and have not been disappointed. It didn't hurt that I saved $50 total on clearance.
With braid, not only can I feel everything the lure does, I can hear it bumping off cover & bottom resonating through the guides and blank.
The rod sets the hook for you, when a fish hits it, the tip is soft enough to let them take it before setting the hook.
This rod is incredibly stout, I wore myself out TRYING to cast it the 1st time out, the next time I let the rod do the work and absolutely fell in love. The PowerHump grip feels just right in my hand and I don't feel like I'm squeezing a marker when holding it.
I've used it for spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, crankbaits, Texas-rigged worms, & 1/2oz jigs with no noticeable degrade in technique. With the exception of very light crankbaits, but that's due the the super high speed reel (you just can't slow it down that much)."

Advantages: Performs well, Value for money
"I bought this as a second frog rod (7 Heavy/Fast) to my st. croix 6'6 medium/mod. fast. I walked around basspro shops for a good hour or two testing out every rod in the store. I was looking for a 7' med/heavy or heavy and my price range was about 150 -I walked away with this for 79.99. It just felt the best to me. and i saved some money
I only had one reel (revo inshore) while i waited on the other to be delivered (Revo STX) so I decided to take the new rod on a trip back home. While initially i was only gonna use this rod for froggin stuff, I prefer this rod on nearly all application to the St. Croix. In three days I was able to catch a lady fish in the ocean (crankbait), a striper in the sound (gulp with jighead) a redfish in the sound (weightless superfluke) and a largemouth in blackwater (zoom toad). This thing is so much more sensative than my 6'6 medium st. croix. I can auctually feel the bottom!!! and its a heavy action.
I'm sold on this thing. My only question is how long its gonna last. So far so good, I fish freshwater and saltwater equally hard and im kinda iffy about taking this thing in the salt all the time, but time will tell-
Also the power grip was really uncomfortable after the first day of fishing, but i don't even notice it now.
great rod, i wish i had the money to do away with the st. criox and get another, I'll just have to see the longevity of this thing before i do that. those st. croix last forever."

"this rod is very comfortable the eva foam butt cap really makes a difference when fighting big fish. i use this rod with 40 lb braid for rat fishing and swimbaits i own the 7' medium action and it has plenty of backbone to take on any fish."
