- The fast current and deep depth focus may make it less versatile for shallow or slow-moving conditions.
- Size #1 5.5G is a specific setup, so anglers will want to confirm it matches their target depth and current before choosing it.
- The high-visibility red tip and matte black body improve visibility, but the float’s black/red color scheme may not suit every visibility preference on the water.
