Re: Midstrolling
Finally I've bought a Poison Glorious 610 UL/M which I was looking for a long time. However I'd like to buy something from Evergreend brand but I cannot decide it between the next 3 rods; Evergreen Orion The Garza ST Evergreen Orion The Willow Evergreen Orion The FreeWill ST I don't know if it woul...

Re: Midstrolling
A lot of the Raid guys are using solid tips. JohnnyA mentioned taking a look at Raid's youtube videos. I've watched several, good stuff in there. I think you can do it with any rod - I've mid and bottom strolled with my expride 610ML for years - but the Excite Top and similar setup seems optimal. R...

Re: Midstrolling
RAID has a few videos on that internet video website. I'm finding with RAID, the casting rods are very versatile, the spinning rods are very technique specific. I tried the Power Nose, excelling hanging jig rod, isn't perfect for strolling. I was going to try the Stride for that because very clear w...

Re: Raid Japan Rods
I've got 3 RAID rods. 1 Spinning 2 Casting - Joker and the Baltaro Tell us about the Joker and Baltoro. I only know of them from the brief description on a site selling them. All around rods? Technique specific? How would them compare to the MB P5 line or the Shimano Exprides? I wouldn't call eithe...

Re: WHY are there no short enthusiast pitching sticks?!?!
Thanks to all! KP, thanks .. that Fast-to-Slow taper on Harrier & regular fast on the Glorius concerns me as I'm looking for a US fast to x-fast. Dragon1, the Grand Cobra's lure listing including bladed jigs and crankbaits concerns me that it won't be at least US fast in taper. I agree this Evergre...

Re: WHY are there no short enthusiast pitching sticks?!?!
Where are the fast to extra-fast enthusiast-level heavy pitching sticks less than 7'? Preferably 6'8" to 6'10" for tip-down frog walking with very high sensitivity to detect light jig pickups. Prior threads mentioned Fuego, Tatula, and Mojo Bass, but I'm looking for far more sensitivity. Also, opti...

Re: Who is the MOST over rated ?
4. Capital companies and private equity firms have destroyed more tackle companies and ruined the fishing industry than PETA. This is the one that gets me the most. My case in point, Abu Garcia. They were the absolute best when it came to innovation, aesthetics, and build quality up until Pure Fish...

Re: Who is the MOST over rated ?
Coming back for Round 2 ... After serious thought and 20+ years as a tackle enthusiast, a few observations: 1. ALL rod manufacturers have at least 1 over rated rod in their product line up. In my personal experience, the LEAST over rated would be Evergreen-International. They had a few that didn't f...

Re: 2023 Steez “Real Control” Rods
The RC 7'3" H looked interesting, especially with Fujita calling it the "maniac's rod", but it's long for me (kayak). I ended up looking at the 6'10" Medium Fast Casting 85g 3/16 - 3/4oz which Fujita mentions using for jerkbaits, poppers, squarebills, and some spinnerbaits (smaller I'm assuming). I...

Re: Backlash Japan
reputable but I don't buy much from them. I recently got a rod from them and it went well. They itemized everything which is a good thing.
