can cast so far
this rod is perfect for me, me and a friend skipper half and half, unfortuneatly, he's really not the best at getting us in the right spot to cast at the fish, lucky for me that doesnt matter anymore, he can park us way off from where we need to be and ive got no issue casting right on top of the fish. if youve got a shit skipper 10/10 this is the rod for you

bit pricey but worth it
it's hard to spend this much on a rod, if you do though youll never go back to anything else

super light rod
very light rod, i wasnt fully convinced it was rated to 50lb until i hooked my first fish on it!
-
i use it all the time popper fishing 10/10
i was a little worried at first when i saw these guys stopped using fuji guides, i asked them why hamachi stopped using fuji and they said, fuji only offers a 1 year warranty on their guides and because of that, hamachi started making their own guides as they refuse to use any part that they can guarantee for life

outstanding rod bought another
i picked up the 30-50lb, used it for a few weeks off the north west of australia and i couldnt be happier with how well it performed, then i had a trip lined up for oman in 7 days and was told the GT's there are the absolute monsters i asked these guys if they could post a pe 8-12 8'2 to oman, as if i ordered it to where i live i wouldnt have been there to get it. and with no issue at all they had it sent there and it arrived the day before i got there! amazing customer service!
