Thread: Major Craft Aji-Do 5G

I also fish a Major Craft Triplecross but it certainly doesn't have the fun factor of the other two rods I mentioned.

The Triple Cross is an excellent float rod, loads up great with a weighted or plastic rattle type floater, and will bomb it out there far. Also the tubular tip Triple Cross is an excellent dock shooter, I have it rigged up with a 1 or 1.4g jighead and plastic bait to shoot docks when I come to them in the boat. Both have a spot in my arsenal. I too looked at the Aji Do and did not pull the trigger.

You are spot on regarding the Triplecross tubular rod. I routinely use weighted floats with it and it's amazing just how far I can heave it with that rod.

I've been looking for my next rod/reel setup for a while now. When spending north of $500, I take my time. The 6'2 Diplomat looks darn good to me.
