Hey guys Ive been busy with getting my roof replaced(hail damaged). Then had an A/C go out on me. My boat also had to be serviced. So I've only been able to try my new JDM rods on my pond from the bank and my yard. Here are my observations so far. The Tict sram. It's going to be perfect for shooting docs. I've never used the technique before but I got a couple of hours practice in my yard sitting on a milk crate. With it's fast action tip it's a slingshot. The Tenru Lunakia is fantastic. It casts a 1/32 jig like a dream. Has a solid backbone for such thin rod. ABU Eradicator, I was kind of hesitant on this one at first. But all the reviews(new product of the year in Australia)etc. Plus Yodie's experiences with it. I bought it. It's a great rod(you will love it Alphahawk). All of these rods are light,sensitive and well balanced. If I was going to compare them to my best BC rods. Shimano expride,adreana, Diawa BLX black label, Dobbins extreme. They compare with the Shimano's and Diawa"s. They kick Dobbins butt. SO. Which one is my favorite so far? That's a difficult question to answer. Do you prefer blondes, brunettes or red heads? Hell I want them all! LOL. Thanks for everyone that helped me on this forum. Especially Yodie and Alphahawk. Jim
