I think shimano definitely did their homework on this one. I have not seen the heavier sticks yet but the 50-100 class is much better that the old one. It has a much heavier butt section and a much nicer reel seat. I know it will put a hurtin on some groupers down in my neck of the woods. Still waiting for the heavier ones but I think they will be impressive, especially as an alternative to a 300-400 dollar japanese rod. I guess we will see.
ya know.. ive heard alot of complaints about the old ones. but mine is awsome! what could be better? i mean im sure they improved, but for the money, the rod weight, and the amount of pressure you can put on a fish, its just so versatile. From jigging, to trolling, to bottom fishin, this rod does almost all for me.
