St. Croix Eyecon question

Can anyone tell me what “Big Water” means exactly? I noticed they have different names on other Eyecons like this…

they have a purpose attached to those rods. like Big Water and Crankin. my 6’3″‘s are “vertical jig” rods.

the eyecon series only had a 6’6″ ML offering and people wanted a beefier version of that rod.

I understand that they have a purpose but was wondering what “Big Water” meant…do you know?

A quick google search turns up that they are designed for bigger rigs/jigs and to help lay the wood on deeper fishing.

“Walleye anglers absolutely love the medium-light power, fast-action 6-foot, 6-inch ECS66MLF and ECS66MLF2so much so theyve inundated us with calls and e-mails requesting a beefier version for deeper jigging and rigging. We are now pleased to answer their wishes with a medium-power Big Water in the same length and fast action, says Jesse Simpkins, Director of Marketing, St. Croix Rod.

These new models are recommended for line weights between 6 and 12 pound test and baits ranging from 1/4 – 5/8 oz., making them ideal for the bigger jigs and rig weights required in deeper water, current, and vegetation and crankbaits but more on that below.”

It means nothing. Everyone got carried away with “technique specific” rods, so companies started labeling them like that. Like he said, people wanted a little heavier rod than the 66ML “jig-n-Rig”so they came out with 66MF. So its just a little heavier than the ML.. 66MF is the most common rod sold because you can use it for almost everything. They just called it the “big water” because its a little stiffer for maybe a little larger jigs, cranks, rigs…ect..
