Owned the 7'1" MH X-fast. The rod was nice, but I returned it. It wasn't NRX or even close to GLX...honestly my Exprides were more sensitive. Great, great rod, but if you're getting it for bottom bouncing techniques just go with a Loomis or an Expride if you want to save some coin.

Re: Steez AGS casting rods
7'1" MH X-fast just arrived. It's pretty damn light, and balances at the forenut with a Metanium . Looks are pretty muted. Won't be able to feel the sensitivity until ice out. Hopefully more sensitive than my Adrena 172h, Glx 853 and SC elite.Obz wrote:Appreciate the honestySamuel_b wrote:Owned the 7'1" MH X-fast. The rod was nice, but I returned it.

How do you like that 172h Adrena? If it’s a one piece I’m looking for one. My Exprides are niceFishNrace wrote:7'1" MH X-fast just arrived.

Re: Steez AGS casting rods
I have the previous gen Adrena 172h, not the new one released in Japan last year. It's a 2 piece with the blank goin into the handle portion. I would say the sensitivity is just "OK", and i was expecting more lol. The mod-fast jdm tip is special though, making it a versatile rod to throw quite a few baits, besides just a jig. After fishing hard 2 adrenas, and selling 1, this is the reason i passed on the Expride line-up.Samuel_b wrote:How do you like that 172h Adrena? If it’s a one piece I’m looking for one.

Re: Steez AGS casting rods
Thanks for the info. I’m not wowed by my Expride’s feel, it’s quite a ways from NRX, but is the closest I’ve come to NRX feel for under $400 and is much lighter than MBFishNrace wrote:I have the previous gen Adrena 172h, not the new one released in Japan last year.

Re: Steez AGS casting rods
I am in the market for a new punching rod. How is the 7'9" xh as far as handling a 1oz weight and some Lilly pads? Any experiences good or bad? I will definitely be using braid on it.
