I've got a 6'6" MH rod, 7' CC rod, and the 7' Heavy rod.. I also have a spinning rod I havent used yet. I like them all!

I used one at the show a couple weekends back. They feel good but they seem to be riddled with breakage issues.

I broke my H20 high sticking a 17 inch flounder trying to raise him out of the water whithout useing a net. Rod was good. This fisherman screwed up. I did not take mine back to Academy. I have to much shame for such a stupid mistake on my part.

Yep, I broke two of them and threw the others away.
I thought they were nice rods for the money because I know what it cost to build a rod and I need a few to use inshore.
I took all the guides off and threw the others away. Too thin and brittle.

I had the composite cranker 7' and really liked it until it's 5th trip to the lake where it pretty much exploded while fighting a bass

My friends dad bought one last weekend and broke about 8" of tip off on the first fish he caught on it. The fish was maybe 3lbs. I think it was a 7' mh. That being said I have a 7' H action H20 and caught probably 7 fish on it last weekend out at wheeler branch in the 2-3lb range and didnt have any problems. They are pretty hit and miss in my experience. Try your best to test it a lil in store before buying would be my suggestion.

I bought two 7" MH's for the grandsons and fished Tawakoni all last week during spring break and they caught a bunch of fat sandbass and several hybrids with them and we haven't run into any problems as of yet.

I tried one last summer just to see. I got a 7'0" MH and on about my 10th cast with a SK 6XD and it broke mid cast. JUNK. 
Set the hook first, ask questions later!!!
