I bought this for my creek fishing at the creeks in NC. It worked fine. the quality is very good. Overall speaking, it's similar to my Anglo rod(http://www.anglo.jp/) that I got it at 110,000 Japanese Yen(about 870 US dollars). So this rod is a budget edition of Anglo rod with a little bit softer power than Anglo. Here are pictures of my Anglo and GLASSFIN rod.
Great for my 9mm balls, I also shoot other size balls occasionally (range from 6mm to 11 mm)
This is abolutely a versatile and dependable band.
