Tested out the 6’ 10” Lunakia today fishing the catch basin below Normandy Dam. Did not take the GoPro......I should have. I was only going to stay for about 45 minutes...3 hours later I had netted over 100 trout and bluegill. Most of the bluegill were 8-8.5 inches. Normandy is not known for big bluegill. Cast to the left of the seam....bluegill.....the right of the seam catch a trout. Had a lot of really nice trout....a few looked to be about 15 inches. I know I had some drag pulling fun. Now...to the rod. Bite detection is superb. Fun factor is at the top. It has the power to tame a 15 inch trout with no problems yet is fun with bluegill.....even smaller Gills. The rod casts well but not as well as the Finezza. Which really is not an issue. This is my first rod that is a hybrid being a mix of Ajing/Mebaru. I would say they nailed it. It is a rod I can take to Dale Hollow to fish for Gills and not be afraid to hook into those 20 plus inch Smallies. I was using a Daiwa Gekkabijin 1 gram jig head with Varivas 2.3# test ester mono. This rod will work out great as an all rounder.

Good to know as I generally prefer equipment that is multipurpose. I like to go out with no more than one or two setups.
