Nice looking weapon, those single post guides look a little more apt to get bent than the double post guides. I bet the sensitivity will be awesome. I think a Mebaru rod is what I have decided on, do more single pole Crappie fishing than anything, and our Crappie love to bury up in brush. The line rating thing has me a bit concerned so I am looking at 2-6lb rated rods in order to use the proper line and rod to get them quickly out of their hiding places. It seems a good JDM crappie rod will double as a decent bluegill rod also. Good luck with the new rod, I was able to fish a little during all this Hurricane\Rain, hope you can get out soon.

They are finesse rods. If I wanted to muscle fish out of cover with heavier line, I think I'd save my money and go with a different rod.

Disco is correct. I would look at some Ajing rods that would more suit what you want to do.

Thanks.....I’ve never had any problems with AT guides bending. The rod is a work of art......but I have come to expect that from JDM high end rods. If I was you....and I wanted a JDM rod for the fishing conditions you described....I would be looking at some Ajing rods.

I love my Yamaga Blanks Blue Current, but the Rockin' Finesse is tempting. :)

I hear you. This has become an never ending thing for me I really enjoy it. My next one I’ve been reading.....discussing....for about 3 years or so.....Evergeen Salty Sensation Limber Tip 610. Supposedly will blow everything out of the water I have already purchased.....it must be a good one.

It’s out of Japan.....but hard to come by. Thought you might appreciate this video of a rod that goes on sale 1 October......thinking I need to try this one too. Amazing bend to be 95 percent graphite and 5 percent glass. It’s at about the 2:35 mark. A 610 rod only weighs 60 grams.

Very nice. The Japanese are wizards with graphite.

I really like that reel seat, too.
