Jeremy, I agree. I have a custom Seeker EX CJBF 65 H rod that I love for topwaters. It loads and casts poppers great and is a very nice 40-50 pound rod. It is uncut, so it is nearly 7 foot long. It has landed 91 and 118 pound yellowfin. It is a blue steel, so hard to find. I would expect it is very similar to the black steel.
