Just wondering if anyone has and uses it. Wondering about the balance, weight, etc...

I'm hoping its just a tiny bit under 8 foot. Thats the outer limit for some tournaments.

I like the idea though. A one piece rod should be lighter than the more prominent collapsable rods like I use. I've always wanted to try a good quality one piece thats 7'6" or better.

Pretty heavy for me....but they are under $100 so that is nice I guess.

how long is their worm rod?

I really want a lightweight, very sensitive, texas rigging rod.

it might have just been me, or maybe it was just because i was holding the big boy, but they felt a little heavier than i'd like...

i'd check out the Falcon T7s for what you're looking for wink

They are kind of heavy, at least compared to some of the other rods I fish with. But sub 100 bucks, they are pretty nice.

I have 2 frog senko rods and love them. wnet to caddo a few weeks ago and the were great. I have the 8ft flipping stick and it also did well.

I have 2 of the cb rods and like those ok, you cant throw a small bait on them, so they get used on the medium divers and up.

I have the 7'2" worm rod and it has good balance, just not that sensitive for me, so it wont see much use.

Got one with the Denny Brauer Flippin reel and it is great. I dont flip or pitch very much up here . I was doing it with ease.
