Caught a few 5 to 6 inch bluegill with it at my pond, not enough to give it a fair evaluation. I'll do a write up on it once I've had a chance to fish it for a day so I can experience it catching fish in a wider range size.
It weighed in right at 90g so fairly heavy compared to the other rods above. Guides are the Fuji New Concept O ring type according to the tag on the rod, and reel seat is also Fuji.
Put it in my testing jig like the rods above. Using that method it falls between the Nano and MB3. So at least a rod rated as UL kind of falls into the rod power rating where you would expect it to.
Carabus Nano XUL 54% with 3 oz of weight and 60% at 4 oz
Carabus Delicate 622UL 47.5% at 3 oz of weight and 55% at 4 oz
Mass Beat 3 Light 43% at 3 oz of weight 50% with 4 oz
Carabus Extreme UL 41.7% at 3 oz 48.6% with 4 oz
Waiting for the write up and pictures. Congratulations on the new rod.
If you cast it they will come.
