I can second what Putty says, I also have the first generation and have experienced the rusting around the eyes. It is a little stiff but manageable for some applications but not terrible. I had mine paired with a vs250 for two seasons and caught a lot of fish on it. I can say that with bigger fish on when the rod is bent you can almost feel the reel seat flex off the blank. I didn't like the distance I got on the rod with the vs so I now have it paired with an older emblem pro 5500 and the thing throws bombs!! I also recommend wrapping the butt section to cover the exposed part of the blank from nicks. For the money and warranty not a bad choice
