I have a factory HSR981C that I modified for flats and surf fishing on South Padre Island/Laguna Madre. I like the fast action and the incredibly light weight (whole 8'2" weighs about 5-6 oz). I haven't used it in several years but it had the backbone to tame oversized redfish like it was cool. Part of my rationale was the theory that it was developed for steelhead and salmon. It worked for me. For days of casting lures I cut 5" off the but and counterweighted the butt with a few ounces of brass to add more of a pendulum effect.
I think the BB will have more of a traditional action without the same backbone.
