I would use it mostly for swimbaits and larger crankbaits.

They are quite beautiful. I would like to have the Racing milano lefthand.

I have been admiring the monoblocks for a while, luckily nobody selling left hand retrieve models here. My questions are they all about the same other than appearance?

Same as the ones i replaced in my M-ito

I have mine paired with zillion pe special,

[quote="kyty"]Haven't even fished most of them[/quote

Quite a collection of rods there!
Looks like you have a few to many?
Maybe i could help you with that problem. Lol

Its a nice rod, should be happy with it.

My buddy has that rod,to my knowledge it is the same rod as the slantbridge model.

I have mentioned the black jungle power versatile
C40 mephisto is outstanding
C40 griffon haven't used it much but really liking it so far
X4 Cyclone for my pop x and other small topwater
XX Aaron Martens flipping special, this rod was just what i needed for heavy cover flipping.

I have heard there are a few standouts in the 2016 destroyer , Faust and bandersnatch i am pretty sure, but i am not speaking from experience . I think it may be possible to find a 2015 Black Jungle Power Versatile, I love this rod.

I have a Daiwa Ardito 3 piece travel rod and am very happy with it overall. I have the 7' med-hvy model. I think for the price it would be hard to beat this rod.

Very nice.

I have the pe special 7.9 and love it. Its beautiful and functional works great for me.

Will mostly be 3/8oz jigs. I want this for slow fishing bottom contact. Most of my fishing is in 5-7 feet of water. If you find a 10 foot hole you are in the deep water!
