Comments: I'm ordering the 7'2" MED. It's a great rod. I don't love the color, but aesthetics are low on my radar of things that are important to me. I paired it with the Daiwa Procyon AL LT (2500) which I also just ordered. I wanted the Stradic, but it's sold out. The rod is super sensitive. I can feel the single 'tic' of a bass sucking in my drop-shot easily. Then all I have to do is reel and lift rod to pin the hook. My line is 10LB powerPro braid with a 8lb flouro leader. Senko bass are low hanging fruit. This rod flings them out there to not spook the fish with my kayak approach. I'm ordering all this again because like a fool, I accidentally dropped my entire setup into a deep lake with a fast current. Retrieval attempts were not successful. My beloved setup went to its watery grave this morning. Hello 2021! New Year's Day. This rod is so good I didn't hesitate ordering it again. Two words: rod lanyards.

Comments: I brought the 7'2 medium this year 2020. Really a all around rod for jerk baits, buzz baits, senkos, drop shots, and etc. Landed 7 lbs and 10 lbs catfish on 20 lbs braided line with this rod. Boat flipped a 4 lbs Bass out of the cover and just absolutely durable rod for $100 bucks. High recommend for someone looking for a new spinning rod.

Comments:Got the 7'2" and pleasantly surprised. Been using for over a year now and it's become my favorite all around round for drop shot, Ned and smaller swimbaits. I just got the orochi XX by Megabass and i'm returning it I find myself reaching for this rod more and more (I know, weird. Very weird). Paired with a stradic FJ 2500 from Yeaaaaars ago, Perfect all around workhorse that has landed many spotties and few heavy Halibut on light line.
