Zekepa,

I found your thread very helpful. It was good to see the rods under a static load.



If I'm honest I am still confused lol. There are so many reviews and and all are the subject of opinion and that persons' interpretation of the ratings on that rod. You can also count on the fact that the rods with the most/best reviews are either models that are one to two years old and no longer available or sold out with no predicted re-stock date.

I find myself leaning towards the Major Craft Aji-Do rods. With the exchange rate today, they are slightly over $100 on Digitaka, and that is an amount I am willing to gamble on a rod I may hate lol. It comes in at 6'2" and Major Craft seems to have a happy following. I have a 1000 series Vanford and a 2000 series Ultegra that both need a home, I will just see which one feels better when the rod arrives.
