JDM Rods to have this Spring???
Whats up guys,
Ive been looking over a few jerkbait rods for the upcoming prespawn/spawn. Currently its between the Poison Adrena 1610M-2, the Posion Glorious 1610ml-BFS Mighty Finesse, and the Megabass Black Jungle F4.5-69XBJ Shallow Fast Moving Special.
Does anyone have any experience with these particular rods? If so, I would love to see some pros and cons on them.
What other rods are you guys looking forward to use this Spring?

I have both the original and 18 version of the 6'10 medium 2 piece Adrena. Great sticks for jerkbaits, plus a whole lot more. Shimano is also releasing a new 2 piece Scorpion rod for the Jdm market. Looks like the little brother to the World Shaula.
Re: JDM Rods to have this Spring???
I'm still confused on the 2 piece aspect. Is it a two piece in the traditional sense? Or is is removable from the butt section?

Re: JDM Rods to have this Spring???
Well, I still maintain that 6'10" is too long for jerkbaits, however I just got a 6'10" JDM rod, an MS-X 610M/R. I got it for shallow cranking, spinnerbaits, and Keitechs, but since so many insist on that particular length for 110's and what-not, I can't help but give it a shot. The 65ML/RF I currently use is spectacular, so I hardly imagine how it could be any better, but we shall see. We shall see...
This is the way.
Re: JDM Rods to have this Spring???
im a bit taller at 6'4 so i use a 7'0 megabass levante, but I'm looking to shorten up and go for a more refined rod. i use this rod for spinnerbaits as well and man its an awesome rod for it! loads up so nice on the reaction bites!poisonokie wrote:Well, I still maintain that 6'10" is too long for jerkbaits, however I just got a 6'10" JDM rod, an MS-X 610M/R.

If you looking for Shimano rod, Posion Glorious 1610ml-BFS is NOT jerkbait rod. I think you must choose from Poison Adrena 1610M-2 and Posion Glorious 166M/1610M. I have first one, because closer lenght is important to me: http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=79504

I'll have to give them another look. Thanks for the info, buddy. You saved me a bit of hassle!

Please, look at information on official Shimano web site for more understanding:

The 2pc rod is a deal breaker

I have the shallow water/fast moving speacial. Does really well for squarebills and rattle traps. Loads perfectly and do not pull the hooks loose when you hook up.
Re: JDM Rods to have this Spring???
I recently got the Poison Adrena 166ML-2 for jerkbaits. Only had a chance to fish with it one day in early January when we got a reprieve from the ice here in northern Illinois. Handled a 110 and 110+1 great imo, the rod was in my hands all day as jerkbaits were all we could catch fish on. Ended up catching several bass and pike. I was slightly concerned with the idea of a center cut rod but I saw no issue with it during use.
