So Digitaka emailed me about sending me the top section of my rod that was broken when I received it ..... 2 weeks later I received a brand new rod. That’s pretty good customer service considering where they are shipping from. Now I have two rods . Not sure if the broken tip is worth fixing. Any recommendations for repairing telescopic rods top section besides ordering the specific part? Thx

I sure hope Plat operates the same way. If not, I will just use Digitala moving forward. It sounds like they have figured out the customer service.

Excellent news.

That Plat sale sure did go fast! I was thinking of grabbing something, and poof - gone. You really do have to jump fast on those sales!

I know that was nuts how quick the reels went...

Anyone using one of the Major Craft Ajing or Mebaru rods in 7.5 to 8ft ultralight or light?

Would like to hear how it performs, thinking of maybe the MC N-One series UL at 7'9 or 8ft for throwing micro jigs a long ways or nymphs with an indicator? Maybe pair it up with the new Daiwa Luvias 2000S using 3lb line.

I owned and used an Major Craft X-Ride for a couple of years...my nephew now has it as a rod for casting Zig Jigs for trout. When he fishes with others using that method he far out fishes them. They hit that jig on the fall after you pop it up...the rod gives him a big advantage with the sensitivity. It is a fantastic rod...and I think StanTheMan has one also. The N-One line will be similar but the X-ride has the better blank...titanium guide frames. Don't expect an 7' 5" or 8 foot ajing rod to take any pressure off your line though....pretty rigid rod even at that length. Now the longer mebaru rods will do that much better...they will be quite a bit softer. I still use an Blue Current TZ 8' 3" TZ long Cast for float fishing for trout....but I only use nylon line with it. I don't think you will be disappointed with the N-One but I would check to see if you can find some X-Rides somewhere.

Hey Mtn Fisher, I have the Majorcraft X Ride Ajing rod in the 7.6 length. It is very rigid, and will cast a 1/16oz jig with a piece of Crappie Plastic on it a country mile. I pair this rod with the Diawa MX LT in the 2000 size spooled with 2lb Nanofil. Add a pear shaped rattling float( for shallow fishing) and it will cast two country miles. My favorite way to utilize this rod is vertical fishing deep. I have reiterated on here many times this combination will flat snatch the Crappie out of deep brush and put them in the boat quick. The sensitivity of the braided line paired with the sensitivity of the rod, if they even sniff my jig they find themselves in for a ride to the house!! For general cast and retrieve of lighter jigs, 1/32, 1/48, and 1/64 I have other weapons. When I need a little more rigid and heavier action, I break out the X-Ride.

Thank you both for the info.

My current 8ft UL rods are the Okuma Select Guide Pro Trout which weigh about 3.5oz which is fairly light. Not sure what the longer Major Craft UL or L rods weigh but switching the reel component of the setup to the new Daiwa Luvias 2000S would definitely shave some weight for sure.

I'm thinking I can improve the experience and effectiveness by switching to the lighter finesse type JDM equipment in my arsenal (already upgrading my 6ft UL equipment to JDM).
