Got another tube from Digitaka today. This rod will not be that impressive to the heavy hitters in the JDM world, but for me, this thing is a work of art, and the epitome of what I want in an UL rod. Of course the irony to that is, it's a light action lol. This is the Palms Pinwheel 5'6" light action extra fast. I absolutely cannot wait to take it out for a trip.

Why do my pics always post sideways???
great looking rod and eel
Congrats. I own a Palms Egeria XUL. It is the old model, lot of fun to fish. The aesthetics are amazing on it.
Regards
If you will edit them, just slightly, like using the enhancing button , it should post upright.Quote:

Great looking combo.
Let us know how that rod performs! I've looked into buying it before, just never pulled the trigger.
I will certainly do that. I'm hoping to go tomorrow or Thursday. It was only slightly more expensive than the Aji-Do and seems to be very similar in regards to guides, and the finish of the blank itself. The reel seat however is different than I have ever seen. it has an a texture to it that is very hard to describe and very subtle. It is not the traditional hard plastic and seems to have a very light EVA\silicone\rubber type feel. I like it very much. The fit and finish as well as the aesthetics of the seat and butt cap are are very nice as well. I can't tell if that is real wood or not but it looks beautiful in my eyes.Quote:

You are both correct, it is in fact an UL rod, which I am very happy with, but I will admit I have no idea where I get it in my head that it was a L action. I also notice the weight difference in the specs but to the hand (at least mine lol) it is very negligible.Quote:

Beautiful looking rod. Best wishes with it.
Looks like a fun rig, good aesthetics. Looking forward to your review.
Very Nice!!
This is proving to be a very nice rod. I got a chance to take it out again today and every time I fish with I like it more and more. It is so well balanced and while I would say that the Majorcraft Ai-Do edges it out on sensitivity, it is not by much. Honestly both of these rods could be two of the best investments in tackle I have made. I know folks will say that you can catch just as many of the same fish on a $29 Wal-Mart combo that you can on these rigs, but there really is a difference. Just in the shear enjoyment they give in the catching, but also in the fact that If you can feel more bites and get a quicker reaction time on the hookset, you]re going to catch more fish.
