What are your impressions if you own or owned this rod ?

Do you mean 795, if so I have a couple and its very very good. I aso use the 805 and think I like it better.

Yes Sir, I meant 795

You said you have a couple 795's but you like the 805 better. My question to you is what are you using them for and what are the pro's and con's to each?
What doesn't the 805 do that you use the 795 for?

[Legend 2013]

I use them for flipping and punching. Both work very well for both techniques, once I got the 805 I just liked the feel better.
But either will excel. I had the 795 first then purchased the 805.

May I asked what reels do you have paired with them?
do you think a Steez ex is too light ?
