The blank is different. The Neos will not measure up to the Superior in sensitivity. But......it will be almost as sensitive and is made for the intermediate to the beginning light game fisherman. What that means it will not break as easy. The Neos is a mix of 24-30 ton graphite while the Superior is a T1100G and Toray Nano Alloy blank with a large graphite content...a mixture of 30-40 ton depending on rod. While I do not own either, I would gladly like to own either. If you can find a Superior...and can afford one...that is what I would get. These newer high tech blanks are simply unlike the less expensive blanks.
