Hello Fellow members,

I am looking to purchase either one of these rods for Crankbaits/Lipless/Jerkbaits. I posted this in the rods section but I figured it could be wrong forum. Anyone have experience or opinion on which one I should buy?

As always, thanks in advance.

I have the same problem with that bait; my line does get stuck between the adjustable lip and the body because of the design. Otherwise it is good lure.

I want a poll asking how many people switch hands to cast the rod. Is it comfortable doing that all of the time?

After considering the weight factor, I decided to purchase the Metanium HG. Thanks for everyone who helped

Anyone have experience with the new Antares that can compare it with the DC7LV?

Also any none Shimano option I should also look at?
