Thread: JDM rods relating to Panfish

Quick note..I received my MC Triple Cross rod today! I took it out for a quick workout and it's obviously a high quality fishing pole. It is stiff, stiffer than I expected but it bends into a nice arc when fighting a hand size bluegill.

I paired it up with my Luvias 2004 using Trilene's 2lb test and I certainly have some learning to do. I've fished with 6lb line for years and years...I think tying the knots will be the big hurdle.

I can't wait to tie into a big redear on this lake with this outfit. It seems like it will be a good jigging pole. This thing is unlike any ultralight pole I've ever picked up in America. I think the stiffness of it is very unique.
