I love my Poison Adrenas (Adrenae?

) but I only have one casting rod in M/Mod and one spinning rod in ML/F. And they are sweet. Of course, they're Shimanos.
For heavy action rods, I have an IMX-Pro in heavy/fast and it's a great caster and not a pool cue. I also have a Megabass Orochi 6.-7.5 Tour Versatile that's heavier and I use for deep cranks like 6XD-8XD, etc. Both are in the price range of the Adrenas, around $300. They good too.
