Did they upgrade the blank or just added the monocoque butt?

Likely just the grip, like they did with the Adrena.

The rod looks great and gotta be contender against Oltre, Daiwa RD, Evergreen, you name it. Wish they convert whole line up to those handles.

Exactly

looks like a new 6'10" Medium is coming out for 2020

Where did you see that? I already have that model from the JDM lineup.

I'm considering building a new rod on a Feather blank. How would rate and describe the production models.. Entirely in reference to the blanks? Is it crispy and alive - good or great in it's price bracket? How does it compare to the newest Phenix Recon? Lighter.. More sensitive? Is it closer to the ...

I'll have to give it a whirl. I've heard a few people say they didn't care for it.

These will fly like pancakes.

I have fished the Defier Armilo for about two years in 13, 15, 19, 22 & 25lb tests. It's strength & abrasion resistance have been good. It's stiffness & coiling have been problematic as others have mentioned. The fact it has only been available in 165 yd spools adds to its costliness. I searched fo...

Anyone compare both lines yet? I don't know about Suffix Advance. But I went through a spool of Defier Amilo a few years ago , a waist of 19.00 dollars I tried the 17lb. test , worse line I ever experienced. Stiff , worst as far as casting distance, and a lot of breakage. Some people like it , I ce...

Looks good on a millionaire

I like that. If it had a regular nut and retainer, I'd like it much more.

Other options could be the 1016 and 1010. You have me a ...

I might be buying my first Shimano in a long time.

Yeah, it looks and sounds awfully good to pass up on. I'd like to see a DC version.

, I wonder if you can use other handle nuts and retainers with these. Please keep us posted should you get one.

He said he WON'T be using it for crankbaits and such. Mostly for jigs.

Shimano Poison Adrena Casting Rod 7'3" Med I was looking at this rod on TWH the action say regular fast. I' looking for a rod with somewhat of a moderate fast , but not a completely moderate I won't be using it for crankbaits , more for casting jigs from shore is this it. That will work just fine i...

Technically speaking, these rods are what I consider a slow fast, but tilts more towards fast than moderate fast if that makes sense. They a somewhat stiffer JDM blank.
