2020 Luvias FC 2000S or FC 2500S

Looking to purchase a new Luvias, initial thought was FC LT200S since i will pair it up with either 610 GL Finezza Prototype or 610 Yamaga Blue Current, then after seeing there is only 5g variance in weight my second thought was how well the FC LT2500S would go with the rods...reason being a good po...

Re: Daiwa Rebellion Rods 2020

I was hoping these nice looking sticks are close to Expride in terms of performance given its JDM MSRP about the same as Shimano's. but 199$ price tag here makes me wonder if Rebellion just another sub 200$ rod like Kage, Cronos, Tatula - perhaps good bang for the buck but no comparable to Expride, ...

Re: Evergreen Limber tip or Olympic 17 Finezza Prototype

Not owned the specific rods mentioned but have owned a Salty Sensation (BB Hitman), the new Evergreen Superior spec (Super Attacker) and Graphiteleader Protoype spec (Corto & Tiro). The Prototype spec is better value considering the blank and components you get - blanks feature same construction as...

Re: Evergreen Limber tip or Olympic 17 Finezza Prototype

thanks Randy. great videos. I do have confidence in 17 finezza prototype after a lot of research on JDM rods including watching your channel. I just also read rave reviews on the Limber tip and given the similar pricing, wanted to collect some more info before I pull the trigger. I wish I have budge...

Evergreen Limber tip or Olympic 17 Finezza Prototype

I've decided to get a higher end JDM light game rod and have my eyes on these two. hope I can get some first hand experience here - I will use it for Crappie and I need it to be able to handle bigger fish like 3+ lb smallmouth because where I fish price is not much a factor. limber tip 610 costs a l...

Re: Daiwa rebillion rods?

now the details of these rebellion rods are available on the web and they are right at the same price level of air edge. a bit confused, perhaps air edge will be discontinued soon? the web intro claims orange color means breakthrough or class-leading gears from Daiwa, will be interesting to see how ...

Re: Daiwa Gekkabijin

Any experience with these rods out of the JDM? Quality for the price? Which one for crappie? Thx I’ve owned a couple back about 5 years ago. Build quality was very good but I found both the Ajing and Mebaru rods too stiff for my liking for crappie. The rods were super sensitive but not much fun fac...
