Shimano Expride A 7'2" ML+ Casting rod ?

I had a couple adult beverages and ordered the wrong rod. I ordered the Shimano Expride A 7'2" ML+ casting rod instead of a different Expride I wanted. Before I return it I was wondering if anyone has experience with this rod. What are you using it for ? How do you like it? Maybe I am just looking for a reason to keep it (

) Any info on this rod would be great -

Thanks in advance.

I do NOT have the exact rod that you bought. I do have the 6'10" ML spinning rod and use it a ton for spybaits and little swimbaits and prop baits. Looks like the your 7'2" ML casting rod is actually a ML+ and specced a bit heavier, but I think it would work very well for the same applications.

I also use the rod for inline spinnerbaits when the reservoirs are stocked with trout, and actually would prefer a baitcaster (on a similar action rod). Might be another good use.
