i wouldnt say its an out and out rough ground rod, not as in the sense as a nemesis slr. i hav both and th slr is defo more powerful, i just like the softer tip on the stinger 2. i like the way it sits in the tide and i seem to hook more huss with it. think its due to the softer tip offering lest resistance.
