i have two: the 6'6" heavy/fast and the 7'4" frog rod. i have not had a chance to fish with either one but i can tell you they're light...the 6'6" H/F is only 4.0 ounces and the frog rod is only 4.4 ounces. they feel and look great.

Have the 701ml spinning rod. Its pretty good. 1/8oz is just about the lightest this rod can throw (if you didnt know, daiwa rods are a good deal stiffer then the competition's rated rods- medium light more like a crisp medium)

Great!!!! Waiting for the official review esp to see how it comes out verses the gen 1 model review

For those that own them how would you rate the sensitivity of the rod and what was your deciding factor to buy it?

Id give it a 7-7.5 in that department. It's good and pretty for the $200 price point. Not in the same league as nrx obviously. Sure someone with more high end spinning experience could chome in. More sensitive then a dobyns extreme 7' spinning rod I had as well.

They are nice looking rods and thinking about getting one to go with the new Zillion reel but I will wait and see how the TT review plays out.

for me, it was because of how much i liked my tatula flipping sticks...same or similar blanks with better guides, better reel seat materials, and better cosmetics seem like a good combo to me.
