Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
Hey TT Fam -
Looking for Recs for a JDM or high end rod for moving baits in the 3/8 - 1oz range. Lipless cb, shallow-med divers, and small swimbaits on jig heads/screw locks.
Will be paired with a metanium 6.2:1.
Thanks!
Chris

I'm at the same way looking for a JDM high end hybrid rod for 1/2 chatterbaits...

Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
The Megabass Valkyrie 71MH is an excellent choice for moving baits in that size range. I've used mine for spinner baits, vibrating jigs, big square bills, larger top water treble baits, buzz baits, etc. It's definitely enthusiast level stuff.

Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
I have 3 Valkyries, except for the one Gary mentions and it sounds like it would be perfect for the bait range you provided. All of mine are used for moving baits.

Steez Flexlite MH. It's one sweet crankbait rod. 1/4 - 1 3/8.

Look at the JDM Steez lineup. Several options from Gan Craft, Deps, Evergreen, etc. Just visit the websites.

Could be an error??
VKC-611MH 197g 6'11" Medium Fast 3/8~1oz 12~25lb Casting
VKC-71MH 174g 7'11" Medium Fast 3/8~1oz 12~25lb Casting
I don't buy the Serval just because its a 2014 model and I Think its too much heavy in weight and after 6 years new model must be coming but wooow those megabass models are so heavy also...

Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
Depending on your preference, the Evergreen Stallion RS might be worth looking at. Would handle those weight ranges well.

Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
If you're asking whether the listed weight and or ratings are an error, I don't know as I don't have a 611MH. I do have the 71MH and it's an outstanding rod for the applications I listed regardless the weight. I put a heavy Daiwa SV103HL on there tooFran87 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 2:06 pmCould be an error??

Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
Yes Sir I'm asking that its weird just because both have same rating weight and the most weighted its shorter....bronzefly wrote: ↑Mon Aug 05, 2019 2:27 pmIf you're asking whether the listed weight and or ratings are an error, I don't know as I don't have a 611MH.

Re: Enthusiast/JDM rod for moving baits
It does seem odd, but I can't help with that one unfortunately. Maybe another member has the 611MH. All joking aside, that Valkyrie may appear heavy on paper, but the rod fishes like a champ... it has been one of my most used Megabass rods this year.
