2 top tier JDM rods SHOULD be enough, right? RIGHT?
I gave my YB BC 71 TZ/Nano it’s first test run this morning. It definitely has more back bone that the MC TripleCross and Tict Icecube. I caught 30 bluegill in about 40 minutes this morning. They were bedding again on my home lake. It was a little over kill for the 6-8in bluegill that I was catching but it could still cast a 0.5g jig a mile with the Luvias and Ester line. Of all of the JDM rods that I have used so far, it has the most ability to turn fish. I did miss a few takes that I think the Icecube would have hooked up on. I think the extra fast tip probably contributed to this. This will make an excellent rod in a situation where you may tangle with something bigger. Can’t wait to give it a run an a Smallmouth stream in a couple of weeks!
