Not really a huge fan of this rod for the typical conditions in my neighborhood. Kinda slow IMO.
Any interest?

If no interest, its going to have an accident so I can get the more tip flex oriented rod.

Its a mid flex rod, not tip.
I like a bit more stiffness in the mid body for turning over heavy head lines with streamers.

I tried overloading the rod but its just as slow :(

WF-9-F and the like and people who like a slow even cast wouldn't have a problem with it, but you can't overpower it and shoot line hard into a headwind.
