Here ya go. Allow me to muddy the waters a little more -

C64ML
I'm going to assume that all these blanks will be quite similar, in that there won't be a lot of distinct separation in terms of feel and liveliness. I'd choose based on which one tickles your fancy the most

Re: Please help me choose a new rod
thank you for your reply it's really a nice looking rod but I prefer tubular tip over solid tip. I've got my hands on a solid tip rod couple of times but in my opinion the tubular tip feels better.Hogsticker2 wrote:Here ya go. Allow me to muddy the waters a little more -

Re: Please help me choose a new rod
Honestly, I'm looking for a 2 piece Jdm medium light rod as well. I'm going to get an Olympic Graphiteleader Veloce RV. I'll post a link in a bit. Most of my rods are custom, and knowing what I'm getting in a blank means a lot to me. Olympic Graphiteleader is the only Jdm rod company they know of that rolls their own blanks. Plus the rod is manufactured in Japan (A lot of others are not) . They have some really detailed information regarding materials used on their website including a scrim made from Kevlar. So that's a big plus in my book. Not to mention they make all the blanks for Evergreen - That saying a lot. Evergreen is pricey. With Olympic Graphiteleader your getting the same great blanks without all the added bling in the build. These particular rods utilize Fuji Alconites, where as most the others use SICs with relatively cheap blanks. I'd rather have the Alconites and a better blank. Just another option. I believe Olympic Graphiteleader is considered the Loomis of Japan in terms of rod blanks. These rods are over priced on Ebay, however you can get them for less than 200 bucks from Rakuten market. Again, they are about the same price as the other rods you have listed, but it's because they use lesser expensive components. I've never had a problem with Alconites. They work just dandy. I'm actually pretty excited to see how crisp and lively these blanks feel. People rave about Evergreen rods, so hopefully the Veloce RV is super nice.

Re: Please help me choose a new rod
I almost purchased the Veloce Bambino ML 10 years ago. It was marketed as a kids/beginner 6' ML RF casting rod - before the term BFS became popular. I wish they offered more models and lengths like Major Craft.Hogsticker2 wrote:Honestly, I'm looking for a 2 piece Jdm medium light rod as well. I'm going to get an Olympic Graphiteleader Veloce RV.

Re: Please help me choose a new rod
Guys thank you for all your replies I just went for Major Craft because of the availability and it's matching my Zillion but Olympic Graphiteleader Veloce RV will be my next rod for sure maybe the GLVRC-632LML for BFS setup.
Re: Please help me choose a new rod
Go get the veloce rv. Damn worth it. Weighs only 89 grams. I got one 632lml. Handle a 5kg toman with ease.
