I built my first rod on this blank and feel that the rating is overrated. I throw 1/2oz bucktails and bombers up to 2 1/2oz pencils with it. Anything over 2 3/4 oz is really over doing it with that blank. Paired up with a VS 150 makes for a setup that is extremely light and a pleasure to fish with.

As Ron A said, it casts 2oz tins a country mile.
