Hello, it takes me some time to have a chance to try the Baby Plugging rod because the rod was broken during shipping and the seller sent me another one. I like the rod very much and it is super sensitive and light. But, it is only good for fish, which are not super large or strong. I used it for bass and stripper fishing, I lost all the large strippers (over 17inch, like 4 or 5) due to lack of power to set the hook. I did land a 17.5inch spotted bass. The rod is too weak to set the hook, so when the fish is on, I feel like dragging a mop and the fish struggles to make the hook penetrating to its mouth. During this process, it is very likely to lose the fish. This is totally opposite to Landsat, which has strong backbone to set the hook. Except for the hook setting, I think it is super comfortable to fish with light lures. Casting and sensitivity are good. I will try the small plugs this weekend, like Megabass x70 or x80 to see how it works.
By the way, I have the Flyssa, which is very similar to Zangetsu. Many people say baby plugging is a light version of Flyssa. But from my opinion, they are totally different. Flyssa has backbone, there is no issue to fight large fish with Flyssa, but I would say Baby plugging has 0 power compared to Flyssa. I like Flyssa very much, casting is excellent. Very sensitive. Hook set is also ok. (Not as strong as Landsat but Flyssa has second action to avoid losing fish compared to Landsat).
