i know this thread is pretty old, but the same thing happened to me as the first post. I ordered what I thought were rigger rods on ebay and they showed up and they say 'mooching' on the rod. Can I use them as rigger, core, slide diver, or planar rods just the same? They sound like the exact same as Gotta Bites: 9' Okuma classic pros got 5 for $82 and they have the chartreuse tip on them.
