Right On. Zhu rods are very nice and you have a choice of tapers. Also there is Tea Stick. Great feeling rods and don't break the bank. And these are a lot lighter than the older South Bend, H&I, Heddon etc. The older longer like 9' were more for wet fly or nymphing if I remember right.
If you get two tips, it is good to alternate using them so the wear the same. Also turning the rod while landing a fish can be a good thing.
It is wood and they do have good coating on them, but still not a good idea putting them away wet.
Sweet Grass had a booth at the Idaho Falls show. Great bunch of guys. And Glenn Brackett who was the bamboo specialist for Winston, is one of the owners and now sells HIS bamboo for about a $1,000 less than Winston.
