The Breakaway rod model LDFS 106-2mh is made from the All-star blank 1266-2. The Breakaway rod is a excellent rod complete with guides, etc. and made of good quality of which the price could not be matched if it was custom built with the same hardware, according to a reliable well known rod builder.

I matched this rod with the Shimano Stratic 8000.

I can load up a 3.5 oz. polaris popper as well as a 2 oz jig with no problem.

The bombers and a-salts are light weight and just don't have the aerodynamics as Mike P stated but what do you expect for only about 1 oz. distributed along 5-7 inches of plastic.

Plenty of backbone.
Note: The 1267-2 is a "h" rod.
