They are very popular for many fishing applications such as low light trolling, and catfishing. They have many features that include 2 piece construction, hook keeper, durable fiberglass construction, and aluminum oxide guides.
Used these rods on one trip and they are really nice, especially for the price. I used them downrigging and the action is just about right for that. You can put a good bend in them, but they are not too soft to handle a salmon or lake trout. Very nice quality and seem to be well built.
