Jeff, I have the old Walley Marshal signature in 8-9-10 ft. I have made the assumption they are the same rod just different name since they severed their relationship with Walley. They are really good rods. I use them for both Jigging and casting floats. Pretty tough and plenty of backbone. They are just a little heavier than some of the other rods I have but the strength out weigh's the difference in weight.
