For you guys that have both models. What is the major difference between the two of them? What do you like and dislike about them?
Thanks!

Anyone have the 1611ML/H? Looks like a interesting rod. A 5 to 42 gram lure rating.

My apologies for coming to this thread a bit late, but the smallmouth bass fishing over the last two weeks has absolutely been on fire due to the exquisite late fall weather we are experiencing in NW Wisconsin, and I have been fortunate enough to be out almost everyday fishing for smallmouth bass a...

Anyone have the 7mg? Looking for a open water cranking rod. Mainly will be cranking points and isolated rock piles down to 15ft. Can not decide between the 7mg or the 72mhg. No local shop around here has any in stock to play with.
Thanks.

I have three production rods I feel very comfortable throwing these on -
Daiwa Heartland 6'10m
Poison Glorious 6'10m
Daiwa Steez Fire Wolf

Thanks for the feedback. How is the regular taper of the Heartland? Is it wimpy?
Thanks!

Which rods are you guys fishing a 4" paddletail swimbait with a 1/4 to 3/8 oz ball head with?

I would be pick up a Shimano expride A 6'10m. They can be found for around $170. Also check out the Daiwa blazon 6'10m. It is a nice rod for the money. I use the blazon 6'10 mh for buzzbaits and love it.

Yeah I thinks its a US spec thing? The US reel is super expensive too and has some extended service plan baked in with it. Weird. All of the Steez reels come with the service plan now. "STEEZ Executive 5 Year Service / Warranty Executive Steez 5 Year Service Warranty Against Manufacturing Defects F...

the weights are accurate.....but i wouldnt use 3/4 sleeper on the 73mh for that i think its more a senko/lighter jigs/ moving baits kinda rod, but would use the 74H, cant explain it to you but for reference i have the 73mh , 74h and the new 76xh. Thanks! Ever use the 73mh to fish 4" or so paddle ta...

For guys that have the 73mh. Is the rod weights accurate? For example. Is a 3/4 oz Megabass sleeper gill too much for this rod?
Thanks!

I like there handles. Decent quality for the price.

I've used my 6'11" for spinnerbaits and it did great with the war eagle screaming eagle 1/2oz smaller profile bait. I don't like it for bigger blades with a lot of drag like a Mann's ti classic if that makes sense I jumped on one while they where on sale. $303 to my door. I plan on using it almost ...

Anyone using the 611+ for 3/8 to 1/2 spinnerbaits?
Which model in the line up is best for mid depth cranking?
Thanks!

Looking for a cranking rod for 1/2 to 5/8 oz. 15 ft running depth or so. Been looking at the shimano expride 7'mg and the 7'2"mhg. Also looking at the shimano poison adrena 6'10"mg, 7'2"mhg and the 7'3"mh. Anyone esle one of these rods for cranking?To soft? To fast? I am leaning towards the shimano ...

Anyone using the 72mhg or the 73mh for cranking? Looking for a rod for cranking a 1/2oz or so in 15 FOW. These two look like they will get the job done. A little worried they might be to stiff.
Thanks.
