BnM Poles - Power and Action Ratings

[Smithjdad]

Recently purchased a few BnM rods and have been a little confused by their ratings on their website and in their catalog.

Their 2023 product catalog has the Sharpshooter 6 listed under the Ultra Light Rods. I’ve got one and it has an “ML” listed on the blank. I’d say it is definitely in the Medium Light power category so not sure why it’s listed with UL rods in the catalog. I wondered if the ML rating was Moderate Action and Light Power, but I believe it is definitely a Medium Light Power rod.

Also recently purchased a few of the Redesigned SHSS 7’ rods. These are listed in the catalog as a ML, but on the blank have a “L” designation which would be a Light Power rod. I’d say it’s definitely a Light Power rod.

Anyone else struggled to get accurate information from the BnM website or catalog? I like the rods, but seems like they could improve on the accuracy of their information.

All I know is my B&M Sam Heaton Super Sensitive is the best rod I’ve ever owned!
