My mate has had one for years, I just spoke to him about it and he says that it is incredibly 'tippy' so not suitable for casting/uptiding really.
He was less than complimentary about the quality of the rings, apparently they discoloured very quickly, also the butt was quite stocky and the reel positioning was no good for casting.
There again it was built as a lure rod so its not designed for casting/ uptiding.
His is retired to the shed, I guess its about 7 years old and since then there may have been upgrades to the newer models, hopefully improvements.
