A while back I bought a Daiwa Elite 7’3” Randy Howell dropshot/underspin rod and a Stradic 2500. I don’t use spinning gear often but thought I wanted a “higher end” setup than what I had.
Is It weird that I just do not prefer that setup at all over my Daiwa Exceler/AirdX combos. So much so that I’m meeting a guy to sell It today. It’s too long, too heavy, the Stradic was too large even at 2500.
To me the AirdX is one of the best values in spinning rods.
