There are two versions; one heavy action, the other extra heavy. I have been using the XH version because I throw the 9 & 10 inch Stocker Trout 99% of the time. Those baits weigh about 6 ounces so the XH is more suited for my applications. If you throw a lot of smaller baits, go with the H. They are IM8 blanks with Fuji reel seats, and Fuji New Concept guides with Alconite inserts (guides you typically see on rods that cost $200+). As I said for availability, I'm hoping that we will have stock in California by the end of March. I'll post when they become available. My suggested retail price for the rod is $89.99.
