I just used my Flatline II 32" today - gotta say I love it for a dead stick rod for walleye/pike. It's way better than my two 13 Fishing Tickle Sticks (now those have small guides) and a stronger tip (already broke both my TS tips). JMHO, but I feel this is a very nice rod with good build quality, you really can't beat these rods for the money. I bought all 4 of their new rods this year (2 Glass Extreme Taper, 1 Carbon Extreme Taper, and the Glass Flatline II) - these are my first glass rods, I've always used carbon rods, and I must point out the feeling of glass especially when you set the hook takes some getting used to. I missed a few fish so far this year because it's almost like I'm not setting the hook hard enough due to their very soft tips/action. With the Carbon Extreme, no issue it's just a quick snap of the wrist and you get a good hook set. This is by no way a fault of the rod, rather it's just me getting used to an extremely sensitive new kind of rod.
After a few uses this year I would buy all 4 rods again.
