Are you looking at 70H or 69MH? They are both bottom contact rods according to their website though.Teal101 wrote:So this and the 170MH are now on the list

70H, unless I get a Ultima 172H, then the 69MH
I find a lot of JDm rods manufacturers label their rods for bottom contact, but the majority have a moderate taper compared to US style rods. I prefer faster actions for bottom contact, although I do like versatile rods. Max has been telling me the 170MH is very versatile.

The taper looks to be pretty fast from this video. Definitely think that titanium tip contributes a lot to it. I definitely think Ultima is better looking rod, but I am so intrigued by the unique sensitivity Oltre offers.

He is using 14 pound fluoro in Lake Biwa with pretty thin hook though...

It will literally bury a 8/0 owner beast hook at the absolute end of a very long cast... with 40lb SX1 with a 10 foot 20lb floro leader. Fact.cndbasshunter wrote:in the video he set pretty good and he didn't get much hook penetration.IAY wrote:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=z5-Ujb8XTX8
