This is a little 8', 2pc, 5w rod built on a Batson Forcast blank. I ran the CCS on it and it checks out with an ERN of 5.35 and an AA of 66* or fast action. It loads and casts nicely with 5w line. While there is nothing horribly fancy about this rod, it is well set up. I set the guides with a chart and then moved them around a tad for the best curve in the line.

The hardware is stainless and aluminum with the insert being apple wood. The color is a deep blue green with a kind of tiger stripe pattern to it. The wraps are black with a single gray accent wrap.
