This is proving to be a very nice rod. I got a chance to take it out again today and every time I fish with I like it more and more. It is so well balanced and while I would say that the Majorcraft Ai-Do edges it out on sensitivity, it is not by much. Honestly both of these rods could be two of the best investments in tackle I have made. I know folks will say that you can catch just as many of the same fish on a $29 Wal-Mart combo that you can on these rigs, but there really is a difference. Just in the shear enjoyment they give in the catching, but also in the fact that If you can feel more bites and get a quicker reaction time on the hookset, you]re going to catch more fish.
