Hi Lee
Glad you like them. I use rods rated as heavy action and in the 7'6"-8'6" range, preferring the shorter end of that spectrum. I'm using a two piece mudhole configuration in heavy action that's 7'6" and really like it. I don't think they are listed yet, but some are supposed to be on the way .If you contact them you be notified when they first arrive.
The first batch of whigs is catching fish, especially if allowed to sink then fished with alternating quick snaps down on the crank, pauses both long and short, mixed with a few short bursts close to or even skipping on the the surface, then lower your time,let it sink resume.
New mold is a tweak off spec or there's some shrinkage on the top side in curing so it wants to ride higher than it should at top speed. Can correct with heavier hook, or egg sinker at nose or small egg pegged between hook and lure.
best
