Damion Kidd, sorry for late reply. I have one of these as my wife’s Dad fished with these and he bought me one for Christmas shortly after we got married. I continue to fish with it. However the pole mine is attached to is heavy compared to the poles of today. It’s a 12 footer.
I continue to use mine for spider rigs so I don’t have to hold it all day. It was keen back in the day. I also use it for jigging for large bass on creeks in log jams as the pole it’s on is very stiff for the most part. And I use it for cat fishing as it has enough backbone to handle 2 to 10 pounders. He taught me years ago a trick for lining the rod. They are a few tricks to lining it with and without the small metal wire that comes with it, in which I still own. Good luck and as with all older things they continue to have good uses.
