Thanks for the quick feedback. I'll check out the Valkyrie. Let me know how you like the bait.

2 of the 79 Heavy Swimbait rods
7ft medium all around spinning rod
72 mh shakey head spinning rod
rods are light, sensitive and for the money i am happy with them.
i kinda of prefer the 79's over my mark 48, i mainly fish either shiners or bull gills on them
i use the spinning rods for lots of stuff and paired them up with kage spinning reels, great little combo's
So I personally haven't thrown anything that heavy with my 79 Kage, i really just use it for 6inch bullshad and 6inch bull gills
I actually just go my first megadog in this week so i am new to that bait
i am going to throw it on either the ts destroyer blackjack or another great rod is the new megabass multipiece valkyrie 711 its a touch more than the kage but i would probably get that for an all around swimbait rod at $350 over the kage at $200 i feel its worth the money especially if you want to throw 4 to 5.5 oz baits
it is also super nice to have a multipiece swimbait rod

Re: Daiwa Kage
I had the 7-foot 3in medium-heavy all around Rod. I absolutely loved the blank. However, like one of the other reviews it was desperately in need of one or more guides. Additionally, the build Aesthetics were very plain and I felt lacking at the price point. More so than anything was the simple plastic locking nut for the real that would show exposed threads when fully lockdown.
