I am going to pair it with my soare CI14+ 500S reel spooled with 2.3 lb ester with a 2 lb fluoro leader. My JDM jigs and spoons for this rod are in the 0.2-1.5g ... anyway I purchased it from the eBay seller Japonicano (matthew0408) last Sunday and it was already at my door today when I got home from work. It was unbelievably fast from Japan considering the global situation etc. I will post more pictures once everything is setup.

Congrats, that's the lightest/ smallest ajing set-up among the Shimano offerings. I've been eyeing Matthew0408 for a while, do they have a standalone web-based store or did you buy from eBay? I'd also be very curious to know how that 408 works on the lower end of the lure weights.
