Leviathan rods ..

[Real Pudd legend]

Just wondering if anyone has the omega swimbait rod in heavy or xtra heavy and how you like it. Actions , weight and aesthetics .. I know there is a review Cal did which was great but I would like a little more info.

Thanks in advance fellas !

I have a XH. I like it a lot. Has a nice moderate taper and it loads nicely.
Rod looks nice to me. I like the way Swimbait is written
-The balance to me is superb compared to my other swimbait rods. It balances right at the locking nut with a Lexa 300 or most other reels so it feels light in weight to me based on the balance.

-I can throw 6inch mag drafts on it to Deps 250s.

-The 20% off Swimbait Universe discount made the price much better.



The things that I don't like:

-The hook keeper and position
(my line can get caught under it)

-The exposed threads.
(I can hold the rod in a way to not be bothered by the feel of them, but I don't like them)

-The handle will catch on my shirt depending on how I cast.

* The guide size may be a hindrance depending on what you like and if you use leaders. The tip guide on my Okuma SBX looks like a manhole *giggidy* in comparison.

He did a review recently.

Here is a wide angle pic of the balance point with a stock Lexa 300

Thanks for the great Info!

Can you explain a little further on the “ guide hindrance “ ?

I will be using full mono or 40/50 lb braid to 20-30 lb leader, will that be an issue ?

Handle length is causing the handle in the shirt?

They're smallish guides, so the size of your connection knot will have an impact (literally and figuratively) on casting performance.

Thanks Cal for the heads up.
