Just seeing if anyone currently fishes these that can give some input. Also does anyone know of a retailer in the Lake Conroe area who sells them so I could get my hands on them to feel them? I have a couple of spinning rods but looking to get a couple of casting rods. the couple I'm looking at have a mod fast action which really not a fan of for the technique so wanted to feel them and see how slow they're mod fast really is. Thank you.

I have two of them I use for crappie fishing. Very light and sensitive, HOWEVER, I just had one of the eyes pull out of my 7 ft. rod and had I read the warranty first I probably would have passed on them.
To whom much is given, much is required.

I'm no tour pro or wannabe, so for what it's worth, I'm really enjoying fishing these rods. I stumbled on G-Rod Intl. when I added a back up crappie jig spinning rod. I had it on deck next to a Dobyns Champion Extreme 701. I was quick to shuffle the Dobyns to my back up. The G-Rod blank was more sensitive lighter and stronger. Gary makes great rods, but now I am switching out some Champions and Loomis IMX Bass rods to The G-Rod Pro Bass and Game changers, mostly for my slow moving baits as the sensitivity is unreal. They do seem to be under rated at about a half power if not more. If your going to spend the coin, try one of the Pro Bass series rods. If your looking for a bargain check the Game Changer series, it's not that far off their premium rod.
