Since 2021 all daiwa japan bass rods are either grip joints or center cut 2 piece for lower shipping cost and easier warranty service. Most Daiwa USA rods are still one piece, but yea a lot of them the blanks do not run through reel seat. Even split grip, they are assembled separately. The older steez rods with air beam seat didn't have blanks run through it either.

73H has faster taper and short stiff solid tip which actually loads up and casts very nicely, i really like that rod. still haven't caught anything with 611mh so can't say if the power band is the same but they sure feel like it. I also have the 71mh-st but still haven't gotten a chance to fish it. From just playing around with it, feels and bends near identical to steez fury c70h-st, solid tip is shorter but may be tad bit stiffer than the one on fury. Fury is rated H power but it definitely fishes like MH to me.

Definitely feels more like a classic jig and worm stick, even frogging. This is not one of those typical JDM versatile JDM MH rods. I should have known this because RC 610M was stiff/powerful too for M power rod to be used for jerkbait and treble hook baits.

Have you fished it yet? It's a little too stiff/powerful than i would have liked it to be. Still trying to figure out what I'm going to use it for.

Since everyone is posting mostly their shimano/loomis, here's the two i have Scorpion mg 1000/chronarch 50 mg hybrid and Metanium mg7 sitting on original wiebe seat glx 783 and 844

Sharp looking t3 mx and tat type r you have there

Yea exactly what i thought lol

How do you know nobody bought it? You live in japan and have seen sales data or your pure assumption just because?

Sorry i don't own the Sensor. Black Jack is a really nice med size softbait stick. I use it mainly for 3/16-1/4 oz texas rig, free rig and weightless baits like D Shad, dolive stick fat. It has fast to slow dual taper found on many JDM sticks.

nice. i got one a while ago with intentions of doing the gear swap and mods to run 34mm spools properly and more. then realized the reel was too pretty as it is and couldnt bring myself down to do it, so mission aborted lol

Finally gave in and picked up a new zillion tw hd. This is my first new reel purchase since early last year. It's very smooth for an 8.1 ratio reel. The boost spool is okay, obviously meant for lures on heavier side, it's nice to have a deep spool option, i use mostly 34mm SV spools. Happy with it so far.

I went to puddingstone this afternoon, full on algae bloom there right now, i wasn't expecting to see that yet. Did a lot of walking and casting, had two bites and brought one in. Hopefully it cleans up soon, it's not fun removing the nasty stuff after every cast.

Too many cormorants there now. It's been even slower since they came in big numbers. Now i see people catch mostly small bedfish here and there. it's just not fun fishing there even I'm probably there like once a week since it's literally down the freeway from me lol. At least at puddingstone they have rocks and brushes in the water, you can actually feel something, legg is just all mud on the bottom.

The surrounding neighborhoods are still sketchy at magic but the park itself is chill as long as you stick to the "mind your own business" stuff. A lot of 1lbers in there lol the place doesn't seem to get the same pressure as alondra or other city ponds but they are super spooked, typical finesse softbait fishing is the way to go just to get some bites, spinnerbaits did well for me there too. I moved out of the area, kinda miss magic and alondra both, fun lil ponds to scratch the itch. Legg lake/whittier narrow is not the same, rather drive a few more miles to hit puddingstone right now.

Built my own poormans zillion tw hd lol Zillion 10 with backlash x Livre handle and main gear/worm gear from zillion sv 7.3
