Batson 802.75

Any info on the Batson 802.75 blank? I was planning a rod build around a finesse baitcaster which would throw trigged tubes, worms with 1/8 tungsten weights and finesse jigs 3/16-5/16 ounce for smallies. Was wondering if this rod was light enough to work with these weights and cast, and strong enough in the back end to work these types of lures through moderate cover without feeling like its under powered.
