While it is quite a bit more stout, the longer length gives me a super sensitive, almost soft tip action. I spent today drop shotting in the current around bridge piers with a 3” swim bait and a 3/8 weight, didn’t get my target species hooked up, but did lay into a couple real healthy drum, this rods handled them like a champ, no sweat. Works great with the .4 Varivas PE and a 4lb mono leader. After that I went down a deep rip rap back throwing a 4” curly tail grub on a 3/32 #1 hook jig head, hooked into a few smallies and another mess of big drum for some reason. Finished up throwing a 1.5gram #8 jig with 1 inch slider grub and caught a whole mess of 4-9” gills. I’m amazed at how this Rod loads for casting... I can throw the 1.5gram head with little slider grub about 90% of what I could the 3/32 with 4” grub, and I can pitch the drop shot rig a frigging mile. Admittedly, the smaller gills were not as much fun as the two smaller Lunakia or especially my Eradicator SUL, but was not dull. Sensitivity is the best on this of the three Lunakias I own.
