This is by far the finest bass rod I have used. I have owned a few higher priced "custom" rods and none of them even come close. The light weight makes it a rod that I can use all day without wearing my arm out. The sensitivity is unmatched due to the IM-10 graphite blank. If you break one of these rods, BPS will swap it out, no questions asked.
Common
Recommend to Others: Yes

Of all the rods I have handled in this price range they are the nicest I have ever used. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to step up to a good mid-priced rod.
Common
Recommend to Others: Yes
Pros: I have a few of these in M and MH and I am blown away at how light and sensitive these rods are. I have looked at other rods in this price range and nothing compares in weight. The feel of this rod is simply amazing. An IM-9 blank combined with a Fuji Exposed Blank Reel Seat and Fuji Alconite guides make this rod hard to beat.
Cons: None.

Best rod for the $$$!!!
Common
Recommend to Others: Yes
Pros: This rod is light for it's price, doesn't wear you out fishing it. Seems very durable. It is sensitive. I like how it fits my hands.
Cons: Seems to be a little stiff for a MH to me, more like a step between MH and Heavy on other rods. Just takes a little use to get over.
