Are there any future plans for a 7'6" - 8'0" MH rated for 3/4- 3oz or so?

Already have them in the line...

EVX-C-761H and EVX-C-801H.

Both are rated 2-6 but can throw lighter baits.

$109.99 retail.

ok, I was wondering how soft the tip was on those. Im also looking for a jerkbait rod and really think the 6'10" XH would be a good choice (im pretty short and like the shorter rod for jerks) because ill mainly use it for dawgs and heavy stuff, i know it will hold up to that... but I do have a few lighter jerk baits. How does this rod do with lighter baits? or am I asking too much of one rod?

Thanks btw.

The 6101XH is a broomstick. Great for jerkbaits but it is a VERY stiff stick. Not sure how it would handle casting smaller baits.
