Um, I can tell you that it fights a small bluefish very well when you're holding the rod in one hand and the reel in the other  
Up locking reel seat  . Make sure you check it for tightness every few casts because if you have big hands like mine, the heel of your hand can loosen it.
I did manage to get the fish in with JP's help. |

Oh, the review?
This rod can cast. I babied my casts for awhile, then I finally laid into one--not full out, but close. It threw a 3 oz tin well past halfway, using a Daiwa 20 SHA and 65# Sufix braid. Which is pretty thick stuff.
The rod was wrapped with spinning guides, and it was the 12' model.
