Is JDM Tackle Heaven the only vendor that would carry the current Revoltage?
Tackle Haven seems to be the only place to get many of the JDM rods. With $100 shipping, I just wait until I can buy a minimum of two models. I've thought about emailing JLS to see if he is getting them in.
Being these are grip joint, should only be 60 to 70 bucks for shipping.

Anybody picked up a C66M+? Pretty close to pulling the trigger on this one. Thinking it will be a nice river rod for tubes, hulagrubs, and other finesse plastics/jigs

Just use Buyee to buy the rod from Japanese online vendors. The rod is only 30000 yen and Buyee had a promotion for Free internation shipping. I got my Rvii-71h-st for only 31000 yens. It is 15000 yens cheaper than Jdm heaven.

I had seen that free shipping promo for buyee but thought it was only for items on mercari? I could be confused though

It was for online vendors listed on Buyee. There was a famous fishing store that had new Jackall Revoltage for 30000 yens with free domestic shipping within Japan. The international shipping coupon is good for 10000 yen

Went ahead and ordered the RV II-C66M+, fingers crossed it’s a winner!

I ordered the 7ft1 casting, well see.
As your 71H solid tip is for sale, can you give a little review on what you didn’t like, what you think it’s good for etc?

It's very nice especially for the price, balances well with a Steez A on it, I have not used it, main reason is it's your basic all purpose bottom contact rod and I have a few too many of those, I just bought it because I was curious about the action.

Anyone end up getting the RVⅡ-S78ML+? Thinking about getting this rod, or perhaps a Daiwa Steez AGS "The One"

my C67MH+ arrived today, here's the deflection.

The tip feels just as strong as the Zodias 172H, but even though it's a RF, it hits the backbone faster than said Zodias. Probably because of it's short length. Should not require as big swings to set the hook. Using brute force, the backbone itself also appears stronger. So the 2oz max lure range doesnt seem too far off. MH+ is an understatement. Maybe rather H+.
Light in hand, balance point 1/2 finger-width in front of the little lock nut paired with a Bantam.
Seems well suited as a short frog walking rod.

The sleeve is surprisingly well made, best one I've touched so far. Too bad it's useless after unpacking.

Anywhere you can pick these up for less than $300 shipped? I am interested in them but around that price you're looking at JDM destroyer range and quite a bit more than JDM expride and I can't bring myself to be a guineapig and see if they're worth it

Anyone see the jackall show? I believe 4 more models are coming to the RV2 line along with 2 piece version of existing models sometime this year

I saw that, not a fan of rods with solid tips unfortunately.
