I picked this rod up on sale, and have to say it is well worth the price. When you shake the 6.10 Corto, the tip wiggles some but the rod itself is rigid, especially through the middle of the blank. The bending curve when loaded with a fish reflects this feel. When you shake the ABU, you get a softer wiggle further down the length of the rod, not whippy by any means, but softer. The link at Digitaka is broken, but here is a link to all the features of the rod, TAF technology, Toray blank, NannoAloy technology, micro guides etc. The 10 Torzite guides make a difference on the 6.10 length. Casting with a microbraid is crazy good. I will say though, I put the yellow 3lb Unitaka braid on it when i first purchased the rod, and the guides whined like a puppy. Not for me, i dealt with that briefly in my Bass days when braid came on the scene. I ordered the Daiwa Braid, and it is quiet as a mouse going through the guides. With a 1g jighead and plastic bait the rod loads well
