The Lunakia has a higher tech blank......Tict doesn’t tell you much about their blanks. A few years back they used to list graphite in a percentage but they even quit that. The Lunakia has an edge on fit and finish. But as I have said many times when you get to the 300 dollar mark on JDM rods you can be splitting hairs when talking about which one is best. Get to that 400-500 dollar range and it steps up more. I have been trying for weeks to figure out which will be my next rod. I was warned about this and after purchasing the 2 Graphiteleader rods I started looking at even higher end rods. I can spend 250 for a great rod....or I can spend 511 for something off the charts good. These high end and very high end rods truly do fish different. I’m even looking at a 1 piece rod....even though I worry about transport.....but the price is way down from just a year ago and free shipping on the 1 piece saves about another hundred bucks. I was warned back in 2011 not to go down this road....and believe me everything I was told has come true...it is a deep hole we are in....LOL.
