What's your opinion of this rod?

I came across this rod in Anaconda today

Clearly it would work well for bream, but I reckon it would also suit whiting, calamari and a bunch of freshwater species as well.

It's the Atomic Arrowz Bream Crank AAS-70BC Spin 2pc 7' 1-5lb, retailing for around $120.

The bream crank has a fairly slow taper. Designed for rolling cranks for yellowfin bream. If you're looking for an allrounder or plastics outfit I would look towards the lightest of the estuary series they do or the bream surface.

The rods themselves are pretty good value, Fuji components on a majorcraft blank

Thanks Mazman

I have the atomic estuary AAS-70SUL lure 2-10 grams line 2-6lb great rod for the price but a rod for smaller fish i mainly bought it for trout which i have caught pan size fish and small pinkies .This rod would be no good for squid but is great fun to use maybe later when back in stock i will grab a bream surface rod only thing i dont like is the rod bag design well made bag but rod goes in tip first bag heavy/tip light

Why do you think your Atomic Estuary would be no good for squid? Too stiff?
