With the stiffer rod you lose some shock absorption, and it's easier to pull hooks when fishing braid to fluoro.
As I mentioned, it's not gonna be as soft as the glass ugly stik. The carnage also has a gimbal butt and cap.... Might explain some of the weight.
Makes for a really good 40lb dropper loop setup for sea bass as well as other applications

Thanks for the advice. I generally prefer a soft tip so I was feeling a bit hesitant after pulling on it that I would like it going forward. As you said, I think where it is going to shine is when I'm pulling on a better grade of fish. Now, I just need some YT, WSB, or Tuna to test that on
You might be right about the weight, I forgot that the Carnage has the aluminum gimble and rubber butt cap.
