New Rod Day Majorcraft Aji Do 1G class

I'm not sure who else here orders from Digitaka but they ship fast. Put the order in on this one Saturday night and it arrived yesterday. This is the new Majorcraft Aji Do 1G. I got the 5 foot light version. Specifications identical to the Aji Do 5G but different blank and components. I decided to pull the trigger when I saw the weight, 48 grams. It feels pretty nice for a $100 rod. Can't wait to break it in tomorrow.

Very nice !
Look at the specs on that rod .
I can’t imagine what’s the specs on an UL would be !
Should be an awesome rod .
Can’t wait for a report/review!

I’ve built so many rods of late that I have to sit on my hands when you show me one like that. Very Nice! I love that grip and I’m still trying to find a supplier that I can buy through. Been turned down by a bunch of them, not available. That’s going to fish nice, I’m sure. Sensitivity will be great as light as it is. Enjoy it and keep us posted.

Congratulations. Good luck tomorrow as the weather looks to be damp…

I just ordered the 6’8” light .
I wanted the 6’2” , but it was out of stock at the moment.
How big is the stripper guide on these rods ?

Changed my mind and was able to cancel my order .
I just don’t need another rod .

Beautiful rod. Best of luck with it!

very nice looking rod

Great looking rod

Chaser, you know that rod may have been “The One”. I went to mudhole Friday and picked up a couple of blanks and another beefy rod that was under construction and set aside. I didn’t need any more either but I just couldn’t pass it up. I might upgrade my stable some, one may be a Christmas present for someone.

I own the 6’2” version of this rod. It's fantastic! I've never before had a rod that lets me detect pure lift bites on crappie. This rod does. With 5-lb braid and a 2-gram jig at 20-feet down, I can feel the tension of the jig let up. Set the hook. Catch a crappie.

The sensitivity is fantastic. Its bending curve is very pleasant. It less "extra-fast" than my Daiwa aji rod. FYI, as I've seen someone else post somewhere, I'd call this rod closer to UL than to Light power. Even little fish are a lot of fun on this rod.

Randy is the person who first pointed me to Majorcraft for its value, and I'm still grateful. This rod is a perfect example

Certainly sounds like a very sensitive rod

I'd like to get the 6'2 light when digitaka has them in stock.

Me too. :)

Awesome purchase!! I've had my eye on these rods for a while now. I reckon they would be great for gills and shellcrackers.

What is the differences between the Aji D 5g and Aji Do 1g rods? I see there is a price difference. I would like to have the 6-2" version of either one I suppose, unless one is significantly better than the other.

The blanks are different as well as the components. That being said they are very similar when you're fishing with them. The 5G is slightly lighter and a little more sensitive. If you want the top of the line get the 5G otherwise get the 1G. Having both I don't know if the 5G is $80 better than the 1G. If the 5G broken I'd probably replace it with another 1G.
