Thread: JDM rods relating to Panfish

No eradicator today. Maybe sometime next week.

Recently purchased my first ‘better quality’ JDM rod, Tict Rockin Finesse. Amazing rod with a 1000 series reel. Light year ahead of my majorcrafts that I loved as far as sensitivity goes. This rabbit hole can go deep it see. Lol. My interest has been peeked on the eradicatior 67 for my next purchase. Concerns as it lists too casting weight 10gr on the sites —- not looking for something too heavy. Thoughts from the guys that have fished it. Thanks all.

Yodie posted his thoughts on this rod on page 48 I believe.

Also, he wrote a summary of it back in July. Don’t know what page that is on though.

The rod arrived. First impressions...am very pleased with the build......fit and finish are excellent. It comes in at 56 grams on my scale. As I have stated before....actions on JDM UL rods are not like US market rods. But make no mistake it is a slow action rod for the ajing design....this rod is also able to handle small barracuda according to their marketing. The butt is at 6 mm as best as I can eye it with the ruler. The rod is for sure an SUL. First time I have received a rod with a tip protector on it...pretty good idea....as long as you do not break the rod getting it off....LOL. Rod was shipped in heavy cardboard tube. Always excited to get a new rod...even if I have ordered several dozen. But I have to say I have nothing like this rod and am very pumped to get out and fish it. This rod will be the ticket for the first batch of small white bass that show up in December in the dead lock. As Yodie has already said....bluegill and shellcracker will be a ton of fun on this rod also. The older I get the more fun factor I am looking for...this rod will give me that for sure. Maybe Yodie has used a 10 gram jig on this rod and can speak to it. I don't even own any 10 gram anything so that will not be an issue with me. My pics do not do this rod justice.....this rod is very beautiful...must see in person to appreciate. Thanks to Yodie and Stan for the input. My only regret....I waited way too long to order this rod.

Randy,

I was hoping you liked it!

I have never actually tried to fish anything 10gr. On this rod, but for fun I did put a jig head head weighing in at 7.5 gram with a 3” twister tail grub on it, which got me close if not over 10gr, it was... a lot... to try to control... second cast broke the ester on the forward swing before it came off my finger, experiment over.

I got into a school of white bass over 4th of July on the river below KY dam in a flooded bushy point area by a chemical plant, throwing a yo zuri pins minnow, that was a hoot and a half of fun to be had with those 10” whites in the current with that rod.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on reel seat/fore grip section on this rod.

I think you will like the rod, mine moved ahead of the 6.10 Corto in the rotation due to the fun factor alone, and my ABU is a tad more sensitive than the Corto on bite detection. I do want to hear your thoughts on the ABU comparison with the Tict Rockin Finesse as far as backbone and bending curve. VaCrappieMan says the RF has a little more rigid feel but the specs are so much different.
