Anbody have any hands on experience with these rods? According to the review in TackleTour they are not the lightest of rods but what are they like to fish? Sensitivity? Comfort? Would you recommend them?

I have two AiRRUS rods now, I just bought them last month, I have the ULX641 and the ULX681, both are excellent rods and I'm very happy with them so far. The tips on them seem to be on the "whippy' side, but I haven't experienced any problems with them. They are working out fine for me. I am willing to sell the 641 for 149.00, and I'll pay for the shipping, but be advised it is a pistol grip version. Good Luck

betursweetbass - Thanx for the advice. Don't think you want to do the shipping deal though. Probably cost you more than the rod!

bassintxlady - thanks again. Call me crazy but I only use spinning rods. Never really saw the need to change as I can cover most techniques using them. But thats another debate.
Going by your signature line I take it you don't have too much to say once in the boat??
