During our test we tortured the Seacaster II Finesse well. Many a times the rod bent all the way down to about 35% (measured from butt / rear EVA grip end-cap) but the backbone had enough power to tire the fishes and bring them in. We did not lose any fish on this tackle during our test.
Conclusion
The Abu Garcia Seacaster II Finesse rod is made for light fun fishing but it can certainly take one more serious fishes that fight hard. It cast well, is sensitive enough to allow the angler to feel the terrain, has enough power to take on hard battles, and is lightweight thus providing better comfort during long hours of fishing. It certainly is a delightful rod to have some fun with.
