mine wobbles. tonight i took off the 7000 big game and replaced it with a 6500cs mag....... no backlashes, and whooped a couple fish in the mid 20's twice as fast as my 1201L......
This is a great thunderstick.. a tad heavy, but so am I
the "tip heavy" is typically due to the guide selection, but it is also due to the beast - this blank is heavy as far as blanks go. some of the sb series blanks in the m power are usually a little tip heavy. this can sometime be compensated with where you place the reel. as for the wobble, that is part of the fun in having a very moderate to slow action rod and the weight of the hardware from the reel up. personally, i just deal with it as there is nothing better than having a glass rod i never need to worry about baby'ing when fishing.
