what's your experience with PG170H if you don't mind? have my eyes on it for a while now and debating should I just go all the way to PU172H...blank wise don't think much difference between the two and I'm pretty happy with my PG spinning models...
I had to do that for a Triza that I couldn't separate anymore. Megabass customer service suggested cooling the blank down. Main challenge is actually getting the blank cold TBH, it's not like you can just stick it in the freezer. After that it shrinks the ferrule just the tiniest bit so that force can pull the rod apart. It's not like it's super easy to remove all of the sudden, or that the rod would ever fly apart when fished in cold weather.
Not a single Shimano rod with monocoque grip is a 1-piece AFAIK. They all have blanks that all glued into the grip, so it's not like you're really losing sensitivity here when you stick it in instead: it's such a tight fit (no way it'll come out when fishing), and at the very bottom of the blank, that it doesn't affect the action of the rod.midnightowl626 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 30, 2022 3:01 pmHi so what do you think about this rod? does being a 2 piece have a big sensitivity loss compared to a full 1 piece? any chance of the piece coming undone while casting and going into the water? what are your thoughts on this rod vs a Adrena of similar spec
I would delete this post if I could but I can't so I am editing instead. Monocoque Grip is the whole thing and my spinning models do not have a Monocoque Grip. Only my BFS PG has the 'full' Monocoque Grip.Drakestar wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:00 amNot a single Shimano rod with monocoque grip is a 1-piece AFAIK.

I like it. Power and taper are similar to the nrx 873.StymoDe wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 8:21 pmwhat's your experience with PG170H if you don't mind? have my eyes on it for a while now and debating should I just go all the way to PU172H...blank wise don't think much difference between the two and I'm pretty happy with my PG spinning models...
I think what Drakestar was getting at is the monocoque grip isn't part of the rolled blank. The blank is glued into a separately manufactured handle to create a "one piece rod".John G wrote: ↑Fri Dec 02, 2022 9:21 amI would delete this post if I could but I can't so I am editing instead.

I'm editing again. I was just checking out the Shimano Japan website and apparently I was wrong. It doesn't have to be a 'full Monocoque Grip' to be considered a Monocoque Grip.
In that case, out of the 3 new model PG's that I have, only my 267L+ plus came in 2 pieces.
It's a "Jig and Worm Concept" rod. I'm sure it would be fine. Designed to be held tip up too.BassKat wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 6:08 pmI'm interested in the PG 170H too. My main interest is pitching jigs to the outskirts of heavy cover. However, the Glorius technique chart surprised me in showing the 170H as suitable rather than optimal for jigs. Does anyone like or dislike the idea of the 170H as a dedicated rod for pitching jigs? I'm out of a kayak, so 7' is my max length. Thanks!
https://fish.shimano.com/ja-JP/product/ ... 6lqae.htmlThe vertical hold unique to jig and worming rods makes the tip lighter.
[Zigrod type, basic spinning system]
161L-BFS, 170H, 2510UL, 266L, 267UL+, 268M+, 2610L/MH, 2610L-S 268UL/ML-G, 166L+-BFS, 1611ML/H, 2510UL-S
, 2610UL/M, 2610ML/H
In this series, which has a long time to hold the tip in the upward direction, it is designed to feel lighter than the previous model when
operating.
