Re: Varivas Area Drive ARD-60-S trout rod

Fished the Volkey and the Certate 2004CH today in a tailrace. Even though the Volkey is not considered a trout rod it worked extremely well in that duty. The rod fishes unlike any other rod I have ever fished. I also caught 4 nice Kentucky bass on the setup.....a 1/64 ounce Trout Magnet using 2# tes...

Re: Varivas Area Drive ARD-60-S trout rod

Once again thanks much for great info. I ordered the Shimano TwinPower C2000HGS last week and two weeks ago received the Daiwa Certate 2004CH. I will order the Skyroad tonight. I fish 4-5 days a week 365 a year. I have tried US branded 2# test FC but none I have tried suited me...just too stiff for ...

Re: Varivas Area Drive ARD-60-S trout rod

Thanks very much for all that input Allsorts. It cleared up a lot of questions. Gives me more choices. I have never used any JDM line. Most of the time I fish with SOS 2# test from Leland's Lures. It has a lot of stretch but has served me well. I go through periods where I will use some NanoFil but ...

Re: Varivas Area Drive ARD-60-S trout rod

I assume you have already tried PLAT? I have read on the forum here that buying from Rakuten is not such a good idea...specifically ProshopKs. Thanks very much for the reply. Regards I have ordered from ProshopKs twice now and haven't had problems beyond that the correspondence is all in Japanese. ...

Re: Varivas Area Drive ARD-60-S trout rod

If it can be got PLAT will get it - also check Tackleberry (second hand rods - their conditions ratings are reliable). Either way Mr Ogawa can help. Why that model in particular? Varivas are not big players in the area trout rod segment. I am an avid UL angler. That rod just appeared to be what I w...

Re: Varivas Area Drive ARD-60-S trout rod

I assume you have already tried PLAT? Plat doesn't show it in their catalog but I guess I should send them an email and ask. I am new to purchasing JDM tackle but have bought two reels from Digitaka and one rod from Plat and am very pleased with their level of service. I have read on the forum here...
