i got the above rod last year and used it mainly for fish up to 10 lb and found the glass tip very good for bite detection with the smaller fish. so this year i thought i would try it on something bigger and used it on the rays and huss and possibly a Tope and was very pleased with the results. the real test came this week with a female tope around 50 lbs and with the use of the clutch on my penn 525 it came in very well.
so if you are thinking about getting one i would say go for it i am very pleased with mine.
hope this is of some help.
