Looking for reviews on the 6'10 ML XF, what do you like and or dislike about the rod? I'm looking to use it for ned and neko rigs.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Has anyone held the new zillion spinning rods? From what I read the handles are very long,I don't care for long handles on spinning rods. Looking for confirmation on this.

Majorcraft Basspara 7ft ML , you can get it for $100 during a sale at TW.

The 7ft ML spinning is an amazing neko ned rod. I'm hopeful Daiwa brings them back with new and improved components.

I have the 7'3 XH , it can totally work as a frog rod, I use it as my heavy jig rod an love it. I like the 7'3 XH so much I just ordered the 7ft H without handling it based on how impressed I am with the 7'3.

I just ordered the 7ft H model(The monkey said the Omnia deal is too good to pass up) I figure since I have the 7'3XH, my thought process is to go with something not too similar. Thanks for the input everyone.

I'm torn, these two rods seem identical except one is 2 inches longer. I'm hoping someone gives me some insight that pushes me in one direction over the other, last night I was all about the 7'2 , now I'm thinking the 7 may give me more control. I am going to get one of them, either way I can't imagine I'm going to be at a loss whichever I pick.

I have the 7'3 XH moderate action, I love it, but it's too much rod for a 3/4 or 1oz in my opinion. I use it for 1 oz or 1 1/4 oz jigs with bulky trailers. It's the reason I want to pick up a H action.

I'm thinking about picking up a H action casting Expride B , the rod comes in a 7ft and 7'2ft. The specs on TW seem exactly the same other then length. Is there and advantage to one over the other, I plan on using it for 1 oz jigs in heavier cover. I'm leaning towards the 7ft because I'm in a jonboat and wont need to cast very far. Any input is appreciated.

I would fill the pits with wood glue, sand down the handle to make nice and smooth, then apply U40. Being older shouldn't be an issue.

I picked up 7ft ML Kage Walleye XF, it's light and sensitive. I find the grip to be very comfortable with no issues keeping the reel secure. I use it for neds and neko rigs, I do not find it stiff, I have been very happy with it.

I have the 7'2 ML Expride B spinning, it's pretty stout for the ML rating, I would say it's actually closer to M. For what you described, I would go with the 7'2 ML Expride B.

Sensitivity is the priority, I second NorthernBasser with the Expride B, they are a straight up winner for sure. I would add the Zodias to the list as well, I think they look great and I find them to be plenty sensitive. Honorable mention going to the Daiwa Rebllion spinning rods.

I'm a big fan of x9, on spinning gear I run 10lb, on most casting gear I run 20 or 30lb. I don't see a need to adjust line sizes based on diameter. I have been very happy with it.
