Have you guys tried contacting Japan Angler? He has been able to order rods for me before. Just an idea.
Kazu told me that I have to wait till october to have the 3 rods I’ve ordered.
he forgot to mention that it's October...2025

Hi reason162, which forum do you mean? Are you selling the rod? And 21? Best regards

Saw some 20's on an overseas site, but based on the price they quoted me to ship a lure, the cost for the rod will be a mortgage payment

bring this topic back just to share some my personal experience...have used 71H/74M/610ML since May this year:
1. I love the 2 spinnings - crisp, lively and sensitive. I used 74M VIGORE side by side with Steez AGS 76MML (black/blue previous version) for finesse applications (lighters jigheads, small swimbaits in open water mostly) and I liked VIGORE better. it is lighter and more comfortable in my hand and the vibrations coming through to my hand are noticeably more clear. the 76MML is a great rod with softer tip, VIGORE just feels better. same goes to 610ML. I used it for smallie drop shot and ned rig and they are the best spinning rods i've owned
2. 71H is a bit underwhelming however in my hands. I used it for 3/8 to 1/2OZ football jig in some 10-20 FOW and it didn't surprise me so far. feels and balances fine in my hands but not a light rod, casting and sensitivity is fine too but I feel my Poison Adrena 611M+ is a better choice in those applications, PA is lighter and easier and even more lively and sensitive in my hands. I do need to mention though that I use spinning gears a lot more than baitcasting so my experience on 71H is limited.
My next targets are the new Poison Glorious, probably start with the 610L/MH. I am hoping PG will bring some new good surprises

The new Steez 76MML AGS is a hair more sensitive in my hands than the 74M Vigore. It's close, but noticeable. The old blue 76MML is more muted for sure. It's also about an oz heavier than either the new Steez or the Vigore.
Both phenomenal rods, if you can find the Vigore 74M it might be a better value.

have my eyes on the new Steez AGS 71M and 71ML and perhaps the BC 2. was not part of my plan but after seeing so many rave reviews I guess I have to try them out

I used the SNIPE service from JDMTackleHeaven.com to get my new Olympic Vigore 20GVIGC-71H and I posted first impressions and rod balance pictures of this rod and my new Luxxe Efreet B74xH-F rod (with 21 Antares DC and 20 Conquest 100 DC) over at BBC in the Rod & Reel Forum.
Please feel free to PM me directly, if you have any questions or concerns.

looking forward to your thoughts after you spend time on the water with them...I have a Vigore 71H and still are searching for what it is best at. I mostly use spinning rods for small mouth fishing but really try to get into football jigging in 10 to 30 FOW

I'm interested in the 76mh, which is a RF action rated to 2oz...seems perfect for magdraft freestyle and line through big treble swimbaits. I also prefer a MF action for football jigs, so maybe it could serve double duty.
Anyone with the 76mh Vigore chime in!
