Then you've probably had the 3.50lb, the Fs Hi 3.25 is far from a boomstick.

Does anyone know the longevity of the various options before they go soft and lose performance. I had the 12.5' 3.5lb Ballistas, but after 2 years of chucking out method feeders they definitely lost quite a bit. I replaced them with FMJ's and after having them a few years managed to pick up an unused second hand example and was surprised how much stiffness they had lost as well. I haven't bought any new rods for over 20 years so modern rods may last longer.
I am seriously considering replacing the FMJ's with something, but just don't have a clue about rods these days.
