Never again. Used in a normal fishing setting. Other than defective, I thought they we're a bit bulky, cumbersome and too much action on the tip as another poster pointed out. Maybe these we're defective, but I won't risk finding out again. Plenty of other fine choices for rods. I use Avet's also.
I bought one too, haven't used it but once and only got a few rockfish on it. Maybe it'll be only used for that after hearing your experience. But bulky??? Are you comparing it to your trout gear? ? It's mad light, as for the reason I got it. Here it is next to a 15lbs rated bass rod (shimano). uploadfromtaptalk1431207997293.jpguploadfromtaptalk1431208020245.jpguploadfromtaptalk1431208050376.jpg

Bulky was the wrong term to use. More like uneven stiffness. The bottom 3/4 or the rod is overly stiff, while the tip is very playable.
Whereas my Shimano's have much better balance/play throughout the rod.
