Hi Brad, I got the 7' MH Worm/Jig rod in and I was suprised by the weight of the rod. For the price I was expecting a heavier rod. I haven't fished it yet, but I took it to a local pond and pitched a 7/16oz jig from the bank. The rod seemed to handle this jig pretty good. I normally use either a 5/1...

According to Daiwa CS the TDZ handle will fit the Fuego and it's $39.20. That's a lot cheaper if your just wanting bearings in the handle.

I've got to call Daiwa about a Capricorn 2000 spool, I'll ask if the TDZ handle will fit.

What about the TDZ handle, will it fit the Fuego? Doesn't it have 4 bearings in it?

I use clear line because I can't see green. I could use green for moving baits, but I figure if they'll bite a jig or worm on clear line they're bound to hit a moving bait on it.

I think green line looks cooler though!

Has anybody messed with the new TDS rods? I have a 7' MH worm/jig rod ordered, should be here Wed or Thurs. How's the 7' glass rods?
