The rod "feels" a plug fine. I originally built the rod for river use with mainly 7" bombers and 9" slug-gos (before slug-gos were cool) in mind. In that application, you toss the plug out across the current, hold it under tenstion, and let the plug swing across the current. You need to be able to feel every little wiggle of the lure to tell when you are on bottom or on a fish. The rod is very sensitive. I was extremely suprised with the rod when I first put it to use. I had been searching for the "perfect" rod for river use for several years, going through a lot of blanks in the process, and this one perfectly fits the bill. It wasn't until this year i found out just how good of an all around rod it truly is. I think if more people knew about the blank, it would be a very popular choice to have built.
