Highly recommend stardic ci4+
Pairs UL/L rods very well beacuase of it's weight.
Check out JDM tackle stores online. Reels are cheaper and you'll have way more options (models /speeds)

I got mine today from Japan Angler - 2 piece medium model. Ordered it on Monday night, got it Friday noon. I'm very impressed with shipping and the packaging was hardcore, in some plastic pvc tube. I was going fishing when it arrived so I've used it for about 6 hours, throwing weightless plastics an...

I'm going to have to replace my BFS Zodias pretty soon (damaged guide) and I was looking at the Megabass Orochi xXx F2.1/2-67K-2P - yes it's a 2 piece model. On paper it looks great, in use, I have no idea.
Anyone with this rod? What do you guys think?

Thanks

ordered a medium adrena and metanium.
I guess the steez has to wait.
thanks guys

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll end up getting the Medium plus JDM Metanium. Still...the new aldebaran and medium light adrena is quite appealing. I have the Aldebaran BFS and I guess I've been spoiled with the weigh, thou the Met would only be 1.5 oz more. Tough choice and wish I could try th...

Strange timing. I literally just recieved mine in the mail today from JPangler. I got the 2 piece 6'10 medium. Worthy upgrade from the Zodias - every day of the week. I also have / had 1st gens. I like this one better and I haven't even fished it yet. It's lighter and I feel confident saying it wil...

I think it's pretty spot on power wise, in contrast to most JDM rods. If I had to guess, I'd say it's somewhere between 375 and 400 grams of power. Its spot on when compared to shimano rods, but i wouldn't say that megabass rods of the same power are as stiff, at least not the ones i've used or cur...

Thanks
I'll probably end up getting 2 piece medium power.
Now I need to figure out what reel to pair it with

Your thoughts? Worth it? I'm looking at their two piece medium light and medium casting rods. I have a two piece BFS zodias and was wondering if adrena is a worthy upgrade. Any other suggestions for two piece casting rods in that power rating? Here in Canada we pretty much have nothing that's two pi...

I got a rather nasty chip next to the tension knob on my Aldebaran BFS after few months of ownership. No idea how that happened. The reel's always in its neoprene sleeve and I never handled it rough. Disappointing, since my chronarch seen more abuse plus it's rarely in in a sleeve. It's in much bett...

I've put them all at the back, next up are spinners and spoons. what a pain in the a$$ handling those super small rings and crazy sharp hooks....and I stabbed myself a few times. :lol: I'm going to test the baits today in a tank and see if they need any extra weight up front. I gotta say, those #8 ...

Here is a good video to reference: https://youtu.be/IHTylVwn95E It's covers different hooks and sizes for UL hardbaits. Also covers putting them on. Also, check out finesse-fishing.com for your single hooks. Great prices and SHARP hooks. Yes I know it all:) Got my replacement hooks from finesse fis...

I'm about to replace the hooks on my small hardbaits, spoons and spinners with barbless - trout river regulations.
Would you go with a single hook on the front or back of your hardbaits, and we're talking small, ranging from 2 to 6 garms, #8 and #6 hooks.

Thanks

I do a lot of creek fishing and mainly use my Kuying Teton L casting rod. However, i am finding sometimes i wish i had a bit more backbone. I am looking for a rod that is one step up from this in stiffness, while still being cheap. On Aliexpress i thee they show a Abu Vengeance 2 piece ML casting r...
