The 6.10L action ABU Realfinesse Eradicator is a super light and sensitive rod. Caught it on sale last Spring and it has become the number one rod in the cast and retrieve arsenal. It is a little more rigid in the tip and blank than the 6.7 Slow Taper. It is much softer than the 6.10 Corto a little further down the blank, thus making it an excellent choice for the soft lipped 8-12in Crappie that I pursue. Cast and retrieve, the 1-1.5g jig with plastic seems to be the sweet spot for this rod. As for line purposes...the 4 different size micro guides basically demand the ultra fine PE (braids). I fished the Unitaka yellow braid on this rod first trip out, it sang like a mockingbird. Nope, not going listen to that, reminiscent of the old bass fishing heavy gear days in which I thought I needed a broomstick to catch a 2lb Bass. Unitaka is not a premium braided line, but a good utility (float and vertical jig) line. The Sunline Small Game PE and the Diawa Gekajibin PE are the two lines that seem to work well with this rod. No guide singing and superb casting distance. Hook up ratio with these no stretch lines on this rod is high, almost automatic as Randy says. The soft blank, braided line, and a super sharp jig hook, the fish really are the ones getting bit. I will be putting up a line review of another PE I used on this rod this week.
