That's great, Loafer! Thanks a lot!
You welcome!
This picture could help me when I chose my fishing rods. Without this, I would have to translate Japanese :D .

short update:

using the translation provided, I ended up buying the 1610M, so the medium powered, 6'10" baitcaster.
Have fished it now like 10 times and I must say I am really impressed with it.

Mainly used worms and soft swinbaits on jigheads and bottom contact sensitivity is great.
same with dropshotting.
jerkbaits and cranks also work very well.

I own other nice rods like Loomis NRX, MB X7 and Kirisame, Evergreen Super Stallion and Daikos and the looks of the Adrena are not as flashy as the JDM stuff, but performance wise it's right up there looking at sensitivity, weight and balance.
Contemplating buying the ultimate ML powered baitcaster with regards to sensitivety exclusively for softbaits and I wonder if I need to look further than the Adrena line up :-k

thanks everyone for their input in this post
