I bought on last year and returned it without ever taking it out on the water. I personally found it to be much closer to a medium action and it just didn't suit my casting stroke at all. Given that I also found the fit/finish of it to be a little substandard returning it was easy.
The handle wasn't wrapped in plastic so when they put the "made in china" sticker on it, it left nice goopy residue behind when I tried to remove it. The rod bag was of such thin and flimsy material as to be translucent and I seriously doubt it provided much if any protection beyond scratches and even that would be dubious. The rod tube was very nice, but honestly that was about the only thing I found to like. Build quality is in line with other offshore produced rods with the exceptions noted.
