Whether its worth it or not depends on how you want to use it. The handles are kinda strange to me. The balance seems odd. Like there isnt enough handle. I have a couple, they arent worth the money. For jigging spoons you dont need much sensitivity, they usually let you know pretty clearly. For small jigs they are too much rod. I suppose they would be OK for bigger jigs, maybe 16th oz. I would rather use St Croixs, seem better balanced anyway for less money. Now if you want the good Thorne Bro rods, try the Sweet Pea and Sweet Thing. Those are better than the Sweethearts IMHO. I do all my fishing with Thorne Bro rods. The perch sweethearts seem like a stop gap between the light rods like Sweet things and the walleye sweetheart type. I like my walleye sweetheart more than the perch sweethearts I have, probably because of the handle. I dont know if they make a Light Power Walleye sweetheart but next time I would get that before the perch sweethearts. Good Luck.
