Has anyone used this blank in a casting format? How did you like it. Will be using it with a Abu Garcia Revo SX If favorable.
Thanks for any replies.

I have one, and I love it. I have thrown many different kinds of lures with it, and it excels at throwing lighter baits that require the ultimate in sensitivity.

I have it in both Casting and Spinning. Both are exceptional. A VERY good multi technique rod for LMB and most FW fish. Building a new one right now for Specks and Redfish

I've built several of these and everybody loves them. Not good for throwing large top waters, but excels at soft plastics.

The RX8+S822.5 built casting is one of my personal favorites. I'm sure the RX8 is a winner too, but I haven't got to build on one yet.
