They are completely lacking in the higher end rod market if that's the case.
That would mean there flagship rod is expride

Re: WHAT NEW ROD IS DAVE MERCER TESTING?!
We all do have problems but I don't think it's a custom rod because if u look in the video clips u can see the blank wrapped In carbon tape (meaning it has high power x or Spiral x) so it has to b a Shimano.....Hogsticker2 wrote:It has a 2 dollar reel seat on it .

Re: WHAT NEW ROD IS DAVE MERCER TESTING?!
A new cumulus would be nice, but I doubt that reel seat would be on a cumulus..
Re: WHAT NEW ROD IS DAVE MERCER TESTING?!
Agree a new Cumulus will be nice. Maybe add some Jackall into it, Poison Cloud.
I rather have Shimano releasing more JDM styling/build/technology on their rods. They already have G-Loomis for traditional American rods.

Re: WHAT NEW ROD IS DAVE MERCER TESTING?!
it would be super nice! but if the rod is in testing it may not be the final real seat on it so we can't truly judge it by the reel seat...JerryC wrote:A new cumulus would be nice, but I doubt that reel seat would be on a cumulus..

Re: WHAT NEW ROD IS DAVE MERCER TESTING?!
I've got to do some deep wed research on this bad boy..
Re: WHAT NEW ROD IS DAVE MERCER TESTING?!
Looks like they saw our post and responded.
Protoype Zodias rod? I'm thinking a $100 Zodias rod that will compete with Tatula XT.

I thought a glass Zodias with that blank thickness and reel seat when I saw it a couple of weeks ago.

Whatever it is, I hope that it has a hook keeper on it! They somehow missed that on the Zodias.
