This is a tubular tip rod?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone could recommend a jdm trout rod to be used for drop shotting rainbow trout. I fish a few stocked ponds with rainbow trout ranging from 1-7 pounds.

Anyone still awaiting JDM equipment ordered back in April?

I am still waiting on 2 rods ordered in early April. Last update said the rods were accepted in Tokyo. Thinking these shipments might have been lost or worst?

Not much there way of UL. Maybe a Premier UL by St. Croix?

Cabelas went downhill after Bass Pro Shops bought them imo.

I would use the gift card for a 1000 series Shimano or Daiwa reel.

I agree with the others, I would research the Crostage or Solpara series of light game rods offered by Major Craft if seeking a low cost Ajing rod: https://www.majorcraft.co.jp/roditem/10032?lang=en https://www.majorcraft.co.jp/roditem/8016?lang=en I own 2 rods by Major Craft (Days and Finetail) and...
