I wouldn’t mind pulling the trigger for one of these if I could find one at a reasonable price. Anything priced well is out of stock or the length of the rod isn’t listed. What I’ve found is stating $80+shipping, and they go up from there. I have 6’6” rods that don’t get much use so I don’t believe I need a longer version. I don’t know all of the outlets like some of y’all do. I’m waving the white flag here. Thanks in advance……Tim
only place I found I would order from is Midway USA. $80 + shipping unless you want something else from there to get over the $99 for free shipping.
big country sporting goods claims to have stock but google search says it's a scam site.
Thanks zeke. That’s one I found also. I go to Daiwa site and they state the msrp is 59$. I would hate to lay down $100 for one and see it offered under $70 the next week. That’s what I’m trying to avoid.
Ya know, it's funny that Midway has it in stock. I don't want to get on a topic that some folks aren't interested in, but when it comes to the other products they sell, in time when EVERYONE else is out of stock for election based reason or another, Ole Uncle Larry will have it in stock. I think it's because he ain't afraid to mark up the stuff that is in high demand or sold out everywhere else:Rofl
I’ve gotcha. I like his gunsmithing videos a lot but I find his stuff on the website a bit higher priced than other places.
And since posting this, I find myself looking at other rods so now I have to decide which one I want to go with.
The Daiwa trout x and the major craft finetail are also up for consideration.
I ordered the trout x the other night when I learned about it in that other post. The delivery window on it is from 4-28 to 7-31 or something like that. It's crazy long.
Which one did you order ?Quote:

I only order items from Amazon Japan .
I don’t order much from any third parties on Amazon .
Edit : I just checked and all models are now listed Amazon Japan . The 4’6” has a separate shipping charge .
Are you looking for 2 or 4 pieces? I have 4 pieces 5’6, I like the action but top piece came loose when I whip hard.

Here is the link to the rod I bought Amazon.com : Daiwa Trout X N at 56XUL, N Black : Sports & OutdoorsQuote:

We have had more than one small fish come out of the water and over the boat into the water behind us. I am hoping a rod with more flex throughout the length will soften her hook set and show the fish a little mercy:Rofl
I have that one . It’s a sweet rod. Light , but not whippy , top section with a lower section that bends nicely to the handle with a 6” gill .
They usually arrive from Amazon Japan before the later date .
I just ordered the trout x 60xul, I think, ifn I member right. I’m still looking for the finetail. I just can’t part with what they’re asking when I know if I catch it right it’ll be 30%+ less.
Now comes the hard part——-waiting.
I'll throw my 2 pennies in on value for the money rod. Th abu garcia mass beat 3 634L can be found on Amazon for right around $65 to $70 fairly often. IMO for that price your getting alot more rod than your paying for. It is a 4 piece rod, being 4 pieces hasn't bothered me, but I have seen where someone had the pieces turning on them. I like rhe rod enough I'd be willing to use some epoxy and make it a 2 piece. It does come with a decent case to sore the 4 sections. I also think it is over rated being called a light action, even compared to other abu garcia rods I have I would consider it UL.

Right now it’s $59.89 on Amazon. That’s about as cheap as I’ve seen it .Quote:

Also set my boat up to be able to do some trolling/pushing jigs. I'm up to 3 16' poles, 4 14' poles and a 10' pole, 4 new baitcasting reels, and 3 sets of rod holders.
Zeke, I’ve trolled about as many years as I’ve been on CDC. It just doesn’t do it for me like it used to but m not parting with my trolling rig. It took me a while to figure out what worked best for me and it just doesn’t make sense to part with it. It also makes people smile extra large when we boat 50+ fish in a morning and throw back most or all of what we catch. I’m also having to sit on my hands to keep from ordering yet another rod when I haven’t received the first one. I’m a little excited.
