 As I'm a sucker for punishment. Great casting rods but be careful with them as the tips break real easy. The first one broke when it was in the holder on the boat with the bail open and line slack with fish on deck having the hook removed. Looked up to see the tip dangling down. Ocean side replaced the tip. It then broke again while laying flat on my boat cushions in the cuddy. Replaced under warranty (thanks Oceanside for assisting there). Second one broke while it was laid out flat on the deck while tying a bimini knot on my line. Couldn't get it replaced, bugger it. I don't believe they were abused but ......  Maybe just unlucky. The daiwa rep said he's only had to replace one other out of the 100+ sold in WA.
