    I find him entertaining and informative. Another good one is Tackle Advisors, kinda like the AvE of reels (although AvE's language may not be for everyone).

    I’ve been using the Presso ultra lights exclusively since 2017 and I’m a big fan. They are very light and sensitive while having enough backbone for me to land catfish up to 11lbs with an 8 foot UL.

    Nice fish and a very nice rod. Good luck with it. Never heard anything bad about it. I have several UL rods though none are JDM stuff. I’ve bought a couple of spoons of JDM line that has really gotten my attention and worked very well for me on fish over their rating. I too am a president fan and all of my UL rods have one strapped to it. It’s a good day when I get out and the little rods start workin em over.

    I'm upgrading from a couple of UL Ugly Stiks. I've caught a ton of fish over the years with them including my PB bass (8.2 pounds). But they will be gathering dust in the future. I'll be comparing the Presso, a Okuma Celilo and a Shakespeare Micro Series in the coming months. Should be fun.

    One of my first rods I bought was a daiwa presso 6ft. Caught many fish with it. Enjoy!

    Gets even better when you go down the JDM rods road :D

    Well, the Presso got a good work out the last two days with 30 fish pulled in during two late-afternoon sessions from the bank. An assortment of good-sized Bluegill, Shellcracker, and some small Bass where caught off a float. Many were pulled in from 70-80 feet from the shore, so there were some good long fights. All this was topped off when a 4.5 pound Largemouth decided he wanted the jig. That was a fight! But the Presso never felt overpowered.
