This rod is very well made. All guides are a aligned and didn't need tweaking like other rods I have like Gloomis, Major Craft, Shimano, Daiwa, Lamiglas, Fenwick, and others I have to name a few.The rod IS light for a 9' being 5.9oz but what seems WAY off is the location of the reel seat. It's super high. Got this rod to pair with a Shimano Ultegra 2500 size reel and it's still WAY too tip heavy.Saltstrong praises these rods pair well with 2500 sized reels but on this model no way, not even close! I'm guessing it will pair better with a 3000 size reel.The rod feels sensitive and is not coated allowing it to be more sensitive.The cork is little grainy and needs to be sanded down to feel better in the hand.The action is fast and the reel locking is easy to turn and feels well made and strong.I will update if anything more can be said.Update: Been using for a few ocean trips doing inshore and beach fishing. It's a great rod. Never had a tangle or did it feel weird or uncomfortable or underrated as the specs are given. It's smooth and comfortable to cast 20g lures and even 15g lures with confidence. I paired with a 2000 size reel. Although it's a small reel and the rod is tip heavy, using the light reel eliminates that issue keeping the rod vertical.

Maybe I missed something, but TFO has always touted being made in South Korea and not China. I prefer American and I get the cost issue but South Korea is far better than China. Very upset I get my new rod today and it’s stickered “Made in China”. Bought 100s of things on Amazon but this is my first review. Love their rods but this is the last one I’ll ever buy from them.
