Daiwa Rebellion Heavy Regular, Spinning?

[RiverSmalliesOn]

Picked up this stick at a decent price to pair with my Bg3000.

It's light, feels amazing in hand even with as slightly heavier reel. Hoping to get out after this work rotation to get an on the water test.

Has anybody here tried this rod? According to Daiwa Japan, it's ideal for most techniques outside of ultra light, including frigging.

I am going to use it from the kayak for resction baits, and maybe some worm work.

What are your thoughts?

First off, welcome to the forum. As for the Rebellion rods, they have been polarizing due to that foregrip/lockdown nut. Seems to be a love it or hate it thing. As for that specific model, I have zero experience. The only one I've fished has been the 7-2 2 piece heavy. It's a nice stick with good sensitivity, but a little tip heavy. I will say that the overall fit and finish on the rods is very nice.

Interesting...I found the 701HRS unpleasantly heavy in my hand, the 7'1M and 7ML feels a lot better

It's lighter than anything I have used, really it is my first rod in this price range.

I river fish from my kayak and wading I will face big smallies, pike, and possibly muskie. My goal with the setups is to have 2 accurate spinning rigs that allow for a variety of presentations.

The Rebellion series has me covered for power and action, and I have read they are also very tough. If this rod lives up to my expectations I will be upgrading my finesse presentation next year.

Right on. Where are your home waters?

Southwestern, Ontario. So Grand River, Maitland, Saugeen. Really amazing water, couldn't ask for more, not huge to rivers but for the most part well maintained and protected.

However many stretches are ignored and those places are where I plan on heading. I'll be picking up a CK1 Venture next month and rigging it for the style of fishing these areas may require.

Sounds like a slice of heaven.

Spinning rods in Heavy power rating are few and far in availability.
