1)that cool rod is TOO expensive for me (looking for a rod which costs up to 40000JPY)
2)It's too light...I need an up to 1/4 or even 3/8 rod...It should be a 2pc rod. because i have an empty tube for it I was thinking about Palms Flame,but I've never heard anything about it....only specifications.Thanks for help.I appreciate it

Then get this Megabass Pagani, it is within your budget, very nice looking, 2-pieces, and it casts up to 10 grams
I have exactly that one, and there's a TT review about it. In December I'll bring it to Europe.

Hmmm... How much JPY exactly? I'm wondering, why PLAT doesn't sell these rods http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/default.php?cPath=22 That should be "THE ROD" Maybe I'd buy a Loomis,but even their cheaper IMX rods cost 400$+ in Lithuania

IMO, buy a JDM rod with that money. You can ask the vendor to declare a lower price when shipping by EMS and you save the taxes. I don't remember the exact price of the Pagani, but I am sure I got it for less than 400 USD shipped to my door (imported directly from Japan, not Megabass USA).

I'll e-mail PLAT and ask if they have that rod. My b-day is on 26th,Sptember...i need a present This rod should be almost perfect...I have a very limited budget and i can't buy more expensive rods

Which rod?
In the link you posted I didn't see any particular rod.

i'm talking about Pagani.that link shows the rods in "Trout" category...And PLAT doesn't have any Megabass (so the Pagani Trout also)

Mr. Ogawa can get it, but the waiting time might be long. Not sure you will get it for September!

Actually ,I won't be fishing a lot in Autumn,because I'll be studying.I can wait for the rod...I've already e-mailed Mr.Ogawa...Waiting for his answer

From PLAT: The price of 44940JPY .
The shipping charge will be 4150JPY. They used to ship free if the rod was from 2pc. and costed more than 40000jpy

Consider I bought mine 1 year ago. I guess prices are so much higher now

[da house of hardy #1]

I think I'll save 9000JPY and buy Palms Flame...It also comes with free shipping

I chated with some russian anglers and they told, that they do not recommend the Shoreluck,because these rods have broken several times

Really???
Well, mine is OK so far. You know, the tip is too thin, but despite that the rod is rated for up to 7 gr lure casting using a maximum of 6 lb line. Weird. I think Megabass always overestimate the capabilities of their rods. I use mine with 6 lb line, but I am considering using 4 lb. One day a 2 kg barracuda hit my lure. Man, the impact was hard but the rod survived. However, the tip bended to a point I really thought it would break.
Do you know where those rods (Russian anglers' rods) break? I wouldn't be surprised if it was the tip in all the cases.

[da house of hardy #1]

I asked the russian angler were did the rods break, and he answered,that the tip is too fragile...So, I believe, that means they all broke those tips

[Papageno1791]

The tip must be something between 0.60 and 0.50 mm in diameter. "Fortunately," you can buy the broken piece.
