    I second Discos suggestion. I owned 3 ESP rods.....both of the Power Lite rods and the 65 UL. None of those rods are a medium power. The Power Lite models are both really UL rods.....albeit not quite like most US domestic rods off the shelf. They are not as soft.

    Regards

    You might call Wade that’s who I talked to He said this rod is actually a Medium rod.
    The Finwick rod series are Medium, Medium lite, and Ultra Lite. Talked to Finwick customer service Tec person and for Blue Gill and Crappie he recommended the Medium Lite as best choice.

    The last time I used a medium rod, I was catching redfish and small sharks in the Atlantic Ocean.

    It's your money, though. Spend it however you like.

    I have an Abu Garcia Conolon rod from years past, a 7’ medium action. Used it on a trip near Crystal River a while back and it was great fun with the Seatrout and Redfish we caught. Lighter action than most medium rods these days.

    You can catch just about any species of fish on a broom handle if you want to. Just a lot more fun with a decent rod. I'm an UL fan and am seriously considering the Presso. I_fish has some great videos for sure.

    I have 2 6ft esp power lites that I used to cast jigs with... they certainly aren’t medium action rods... I did use them a lot before I got into the JDM gear...
