I theoretically picked up the AD5-S682M model. I wanted the 6'8" ultra-light model, but also needed a replacement light-action rod, (since St. Croix refuses to honor my warranty claim on a panfish model - I had two breaks within four months of each other and I made the mistake of telling them the truth about how they broke). I tried ordering this Aji-Do 5G rod last summer and missed out.
