You can have a great JDM rod for 300 bucks delivered to your door that will blow that rod out of the water. I had an older Loomis model that I gave away to my son when I got into JDM rods. Is it worth the money...if you want it I am sure it is....but you can have much better for same price, or maybe even a little less.

Agree with Alphahawk. For $300, I'd rather have a JDM rod.
Just curious, as to what reels, y'all use on those JDM rods?

I wouldn't pay $300 for a rod, even if it was guaranteed to catch a fish on every cast :Rofl (and it's not because I can't afford to pay that much)
Seriously .... !!!
If I want to go "micro-lite" ... I'll haul out my Mitchell Zero Gravity rods. (6'6" High Molecular Density Carbon)
If I want to go "Lite - Med Lite" ... I'll use my ESP rod (6'6" PowerLite).
Both of them have been used to cast 1/32-1/16oz jigs for Crappie, and have performed very well.
(Note : The Zero Gravity rod is no longer on the market. And ESP rods are cheaper when purchased thru Grizzly Jigs Co.)
^^^^^^ This! Even for Sailfish and Cobia, I wont spend that much. Nope! Not doing it.
