Legit Design rods
Don't hear much from this brand, but have seen a guy bank fishing with one, and it seemed like a pretty solid rod with a clean build. Anyone has any experience with these?

Re: Legit Design rods
This is a boutique brand, which is hand-built in Japan. Their builds are bordering on perfection, among the cleanest I have ever seen, tbh. Overall, the Wildside is an especially good value. Cal has reviewed 2 of their series here on TT.

Re: Legit Design rods
Yea, i've read them both. But a bit confused, on their review, it says Made In China, which i believe because pretty much every rod that is built in Japan, you will see Made In Japan written somewhere on the blank.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 6:28 pmThis is a boutique brand, which is hand-built in Japan.

Re: Legit Design rods
I may be wrong, but thought they were made in Japan. Possibly, they originated in Japan, then outsourced to China, much like Megabass. Even so, their builds are outstanding.SSS wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 7:22 pmYea, i've read them both.

Re: Legit Design rods
Thanks for the clarification. Been a long while since I read the reviews. A member here has the 610MH and he loves it.

Re: Legit Design rods
Why do you think I include that info in my articles? So I can look it back up!
Btw, we have more than 2 articles on Legit Design:
2020 ICAST Intro
Wild Side WSC75XH Big Bait Special
Wild Side WSC72H+
Stand Out SOC70H
Stand Out SOC66L+
Don't sleep on the Stand Out series... really good value and performance combo.

I was underwhelmed with the 67L+ spinning I had - blank loaded funny with fish on, and most decidedly NOT good value if you're paying current US MSRP. To me it's on par with last generation Exprides if that, taken blank/components together.
Re: Legit Design rods
This thread makes me want to try them even more so than before.

lol that plus the fact that its a niche brand, and i don't remember the last time i had a rod from a niche company, so kinda curious.
Re: Legit Design rods
The verbose review on TW about the 6'10" Med Mod-fast is my personal input on this model...I think this model is excellent overall, but the lineup would be better in the $300-$335 price range for all their models. But unfortunately, everything in this NWO Globalist world is hyper-overinflated for "retail pricing".
In my hands, this specific model is stellar as an all-purpose med powered mod-fast rod, and the fit and finish is excellent+, much better than other rods in this price range and even more $$$.

Re: Legit Design rods
I’ve got the wss61l and the soc66l+, and really enjoy using both of them. Definitely very nice rods at their price point. I really need to grab one of their more power oriented rods

Re: Legit Design rods
I have the 72H+. It's an XXH sawed off Hudd rod. I like it out of the kayak for slinging big baits around docks. It's such a monster that it is overkill for 1oz range baits and will destroy hardware even with the give of big mono. I caught a bunch of big fish on that rod last year getting into big baits and it has a permanent home. Just don't think it's a jig rod or even a tip up rod. It's a short big bait rod.
