Excellent post! The rod seems to fall into what I am looking for as far as casting, sensitivity and strength. Only worry is where Ive been fishing recently there is a good chance of hooking into a decent catfish or two and larger bass. Ive brought them in on a hyuga 66ml / zonda 68 with bfs spool (super fun combo for moving baits!) and 6lb line so I think it should be ok.....I hopeJrob wrote:Bass today were great fun on the rod. This is a thinner blank than other BFS rods designed for bass. This is a rod designed for area trout. As long as you remember that , and stay within the rods line and lure ,rating you will be fine. This is not a rod for blinding, eyecross hook sets on tight drag.bumpererx wrote:JROB - Awesome looking setup. I am excited to hear how it loads up under fish load. Have you ever done any bass fishing with this setup? Considering one myself now

As long as there is no cover, you will not have issue IMO. I have not fished the Hyuga line, but I imagine the Presso is a lighter/softer rod.bumpererx wrote:Excellent post!

This picture was taken with just enough line pull to show rod taper. Don't look at the picture and think stiff rod. After fishing it you will think, "man this is an amazing ultralight casting rod experience!" LOL
Re: Daiwa Presso AGS 62ML-B
I fished the rod this past weekend and caught many trout. I really like this rod. Caught some bruiser trout! Fished rapala CD-1's, rebel track down minnows, rapala ultralight minnows, and 3 gram spoons (bouncing the bottom). Tip was soft enough to give lure the action I wanted, but rod had some backbone to handle nice trout. Wish I could post video and pics here!! I have pics of trout I caught and a short video of the rod fighting a good trout.

Thanks Jrob for the pics and video. That sealed the deal for me, and I placed an order with Christopher @ finesse-fishing.com. It looks like they have a few in stock. Let me know if you would like me to post your pictures on this thread.
Re: Daiwa Presso AGS 62ML-B
If you can post them that would be great! Thanks!
Re: Daiwa Presso AGS 62ML-B
Nice rod! Now I'll have to order one. Love dealing with Chris. I've ordered over 20 rods from him over at Tenkarabum. Just ordered a Tenryu Rayz BC.

Re: Daiwa Presso AGS 62ML-B
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to fish with it yet. My local rivers are either slushy or frozen. I'm very intrigued by the light tip, which quivers by any slight movement of the rod. Can't wait to fish with it. Now, I'm not sure if I should run braid w/ leader or straight fluorocarbon on my reel. Been checking out orange Varivas trout PE & Daiwa Presso Sensor.Jrob wrote:Have you been able to fish the new rod yet?Schlag wrote:Thanks Jrob for the pics and video.

Can't wait to hear back from you when you fish the rod.
