Just about eveyone does including Sage. Don't look at the action discriptions, they float all over the place. Look at the line ratings.

ISP-84-3-3pc

*** RS-RX6: SB-72-0-4-pc Spin Bass Travel Rods, RX-6 Graphite

I just received the Batson SB781*3 CG travel rod on my last order from fishsticks4u. I have not built it yet, but I am very happy with how it feels and looks. I think its going to make an excellent travel rod and for the money you can't go wrong.
